A Report On The Phoenix Aurora

CORAL GABLES- Fla. (April 19 2015) – University of Miami are putting into effect at the mental health services offered at their University.

The sun is a big, hot ball of hydrogen gas which enables us to feel the sun’s heat and see its brightness. Every second of every day, the sun transforms over 700 million tons of hydrogen into over 600 million tons of helium. The sun produces so much energy that we can see the sun’s brightness and feel its heat. Hydrogen fusion takes place in the Sun’s core and the gas is heated by the energy that is discharged above the core. Ultimately the gas becomes less dense and the heat from below turns the gas

The life cycle of the Sun starts like all stars with a cloud of dust and gas made up of mostly hydrogen. If the cloud cools, it will shrink because of the gravitational pull between the particles

Overtime what constitutes as a city has drastically changed. Migration, economic growth, and physical development of land have turned small towns into bustling cities; these circumstances have transformed the once small suburban town of Aurora into one of the largest city in Illinois. Aurora’s size, density, and diverse population have made it the city it is today. Although, Aurora is drastically different than Chicago, it still possessed the key characteristics of a city while remaining unique.

3. Solar Flares: these are ejections of large volumes of gas. They can sometimes head our way causing radio interference and auroras.

It is no secret that the earth’s sun is “special” to say the least. Some would say it was designed to be unique to help sustain life on planet earth. However, other nearby stars were not designed to sustain life. One example would be the star Proxima Centauri. This star recently had a short increase in radiation, known as a flare. This flare caused the star to become a thousand times brighter for ten seconds. Earth’s sun also has flares, but they are much smaller. When Proxima Centauri is at its brightest point it is still ten times brighter than our suns largest flare. This is just one example of how special our sun really is.

I have chosen the phoenix constellation because I am very fascinated about the phoenix it self. Albus Dumbledore is supposed to have had one or still has one if he is still alive. The phoenix tears can heal as far as I know heavy vullnaries. It is in general a very trustful beeing. There must be a connection from the beeing to the constellation.

It came to be a surprise for scientists when they found out that the geomagnetic storm, which powered the auroras, moved at a speed of 400 miles per minute across the sky. It was estimated that the power of the storm was the same as the energy that is realized by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake. Researchers had already suspected that energy of the Aurora Borealis is provided by a bundled stream of magnetic fields, but it was not confirmed until later when satellites had become the earliest to map the structure of this phenomenon about 40,000 miles above the surface of the Earth.^2

Koger’s painting imitates the Aurora Borealis with the narration of a fantasy story. The soothing gradient from the dark blue sky (decorated with stars) to the pink-white clouds elicits a tranquil atmosphere and strongly contrasts with the Northern Lights, represented by irregular groups of light colours, including yellow, green and pink. Furthermore, there are two human faces located in this artwork; one face is on the top right-hand corner and the other face is on the middle left corner, on the highest clouds. These faces seem to ‘camouflage’ with their surroundings. On the bottom of the artwork, there is a manifest ‘flow’ of horses, originating from the bottom right corner (a rainbow marks this), and above the horses is an anomalous object

These lights form when charged particles emit from the sun during a solar flare and penetrate the earth’s magnetic shield. These particles then collide with atoms and molecules that are in our atmosphere. The collisions then result in tiny bursts of light which make up the

I choose the constellation Phoenix, I've chosen this constellation because I find the shape intreging. Phoenix constellation lies in the southern sky. It was originally introduced by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius from the observations of the Dutch navigators Frederick Houtman and Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser in the late 16th century.Phoenix is a relatively small consolation, but it is the largest among the 12 constellations created and named by Plancius. It was first depicted on his globe in 1598 and later appeared in Johann Bayer’s atlas Uranometria in 1603. Phoenix constellation is easy to see for anyone in Australia and South Africa during Southern Hemisphere summer, but generally can’t be observed by anyone living north of the 40th parallel,

Transit’s such as the ones that have been viewed in 1874 and 2012 are very rare nowadays and will only occur every 243 years with a pair of transits that are 8 years apart from each other(1874 & 1882) (2004 & 2012), making it a very special occasion for scientists and observers to discover more astronomy research in the 2012 transit. The reasoning to why it takes a long time for the next transit to occur is because at every 584 days Venus is not directly aligned in between the Earth and the Sun as it is positioned either below or above the blazing star. This event causes the light rays to be undisturbed allowing the star to produce it’s light over the earth, giving the reason why it takes a very long time for the next transit to occur in December 2117. Transits are also known to have a similar concept to Solar Eclipses. They are both aligned in between the earth and the sun (Inferior Conjunction) during their particular events. The moon covers the sun quickly at approximately 7:30 minutes and is appeared to be larger than the circular

The solar wind containing these hot gases races toward the edges of the solar system, and smash in to the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere protects the earth by deflecting most of the solar wind around the planet. Trillions of these charged particles mange to get through and project from the North and South poles. Energy released in this fashion excites atoms of nitrogen and oxygen, which in turn emit pulses of colored light. These formations are called an aurora. The aurora borealis, which are visible in Alaska, are a result of this sort of space storm.

“Look!” Viktor smiled and pointed, “Over there!”. All heads turned toward the direction of Viktor’s extended finger. The astronauts squinted and searched for anything out of the ordinary in the distance. Suddenly, their eyes widened when they finally spotted the phenomena in the far horizon sky- a Martian aurora. Rather than the typical green and red or purple aurora seen on Earth, this aurora glowed a faint blue, with emission lines of about 450 nm [10]. Due to the fact that Mars has a very weak magnetic field [10], aurora activity on Mars is extremely seldom, only appearing in regions of maximal magnetic field [10]. The rareness of the aurora might explain the astronauts’ ecstatic reactions, as some of the crew

     Have you ever heard of a solar flare? A solar flare exists after a sunspot has existed for a long time and the magnetic lines of force usually become jumbled. As a result of this jumbling, magnetic energy is stored in the Corona (region of atmosphere above the chromosphere). The energy may be released in a spectacular discharge, which is a solar flare. A solar flare can be as wide as 367,000 miles and as high 500,000 miles out into space. A solar flare is nothing more than helium erupting from the sun like a volcano.
