[만파식적] The sun of the sun

On September 1, 1859, the Rocky Mountain miners of the United States prepare breakfast as usual when the day illuminates. But it is the aurora that was created by a huge solar storm that made the Oji miners mistaken for the morning. At that time, a spectacular festival of light, called "Aurora Borealis", took place in the northern hemisphere and a transformer was burned in Quebec, Canada, causing a nine-hour power outage . The Carrington case, where the explosion of sunspots has rocked the planet, is considered one of the largest magnetic storms in history.

The sun is the nearest integrated star (star) on Earth. Since the surface temperature reaches 6,000 degrees, it is difficult to observe, so that it has become an impressive object of the past, or it has appeared as a standard menu of human destruction. The film "Noing", released in 2009, contains the scene where the Earth's magnetic field and heat caused by the explosion of a large sunspot cover all the earth and the end of the day. # 39; humanity. Researchers at Oxford University's Future Institute for Humanity (FHI) have identified solar storms as being the result of sunspot shots or coronal mbad ejection (CME) among four scenarios possible.

The history of solar exploration is about 100 years faster than the moon. Pioneer 5, launched in 1960, has been named the first solar probe of humanity. Meanwhile, the sun's closest satellite has managed to reach about 43 million kilometers from the sun's surface with Helios 2, which the United States and Germany launched in 1976. The main task of the Probe is to dig a crown, a layer of hot gas surrounding the sun, and look at the structure of the solar storm that has a major impact on the Earth. Corona, which is over 1.5 million degrees, is still a mystery because it is hotter than the surface of the sun.

NASA NASA launches a new probe next month to explore the sun. The solar probe "Parker Solar Probe" will reach the point located about 6.2 million kilometers from the sun's surface and will examine the nearness of the sun closest to the story. The project "Touch the Sun" will also have 1.1 million names of explorers. The probe was also used to protect it from a carbon composite 11 cm thick to prevent it from being damaged by high temperatures and solar radiation. We hope that the many challenges surrounding the sun, the unknown domain, will be solved and new clues about the interaction with our planet will be found.
