NASA is planning to launch the Solar Dynamics Observatory, weather permitting. This is done in order to capture the views of the sun in IMAX-like high definition and bring back about 50 times more data than any other NASA mission has did so far. The observatory is set up to understand and dialysis that interfere with power grids, GPS navigation, air travel and other critical communications systems.
Due to high winds the launch has been postponed a little ahead. Now the schedule for the launch is expected on Thursday instead of Tuesday.
The sun was once thought to be a ball of fire rotating around the earth without changing its variation over time.
But after the inspection via modern telescopes and spacecraft which have penetrated the sun’s unbearable glare and discovered an unpredictable turmoil. In the core of the sun Solar flares explode with the power of a billion atomic bombs; and there are clouds of gas big enough to gulp in planets and to the shock, these things are taking place every day inside the sun.
Indeed, humans are keeping track of the solar cycle from the 1600’s but the details are yet to be improved.
Our environment and the society are getting vulnerable day by day to solar flareups. Today we all are dependent on network of interconnected high-tech systems as a necessity and the same has become a part of our life as well. Smart power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications, all can be kicked off by this intense solar activity.
