BETELGEUSE inThe Constellation of ORION 13th November 2010 WOW ! Betelgeuse. They show that the star has a vast plume of gas almost as large as our Solar System and a gigantic bubble boiling on its surface. These discoveries provide important clues to help explain how these mammoths shed material at such a tremendous rate. Betelgeuse — the second brightest star in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter) — is a red supergiant, one of the biggest stars known, and almost 1000 times larger than our Sun. It is also one of the most luminous stars known, emitting more light than 100 000 Suns. Such extreme properties foretell the demise of a short-lived stellar king. With an age of only a few million years, Betelgeuse is already nearing the end of its life and is soon said to be doomed to explode as a supernova. If it does, the supernova should be seen easily from Earth, even in broad daylight. Betelgeuse And Ill be filming it LOL From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the star Betelgeuse (α Ori) Position Alpha Ori.png The pink arrow at the star on left labeled α indicates Betelgeuse in Orion.

This week has been a most interesting week of observation . This week we finally find the magnetopause standoff returning to normal levels . The magnetopause position had been as close as the Geosynchronus Orbit . The magnetopause standoff event started late on the 6th and really did not recover till the 20th to an acceptable level where we find it today. Just before recovery at L5 we find a failry significant Proton and Electron Event @ Stereo B on July 19th 2009 . We do not find a match @ ACE till half way through observation day on July 23rd . Stereo B Impact also showed us a significant drop in Density and a siginficant increase in Solar Winds in the observation period from July 19th to July 21st 2009 We do detect the the reconnection and the breech of the Magnetosphere clearly in the Bx,By,Bt,Bz and Theta where we found levels recorded up to -20 . With the intial wave first being detected on the 20th and lasting till the end of this observation period with the peak having been with the event on the 22nd of July Recap of the July 22nd event This was one of the more interesting events of this year . There was a GeoMagnetic Disturbance Warning issued and it was only the second such warning that has been issued in 2009 thus far . Even more interesting is the event is being blamed on a Very Small Coronal Hole at a very high latitude . This event happened well before the prediction that was made by forecasters of its arrival . A very bright display of the Northern Lights ...

A simulation flight over surface of Venus Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it is often called the Morning Star or the Evening Star.
