A countdown of the top 5 solar discoveries from the Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum. These include the discoveries of sunspots, the solar cycle, the heliosphere, aurora formation, and space weather.

Number 1 in the Top 5 Solar Discoveries is the importance of space weather and the research that strives to predict it more accurately.

what's the name of the music at the end? I'm sure i've heard it before

[Ecnarb]

Thank you for the captions! I'm deaf and love to read and watch NASA program.

[tamiatami]

really interesting discovery of nasa.
grazie pier per averlo condiviso.

[onilef]

That is true. Nice and informative video.

[darkalien]

hehe that would explain why I haven't seen it yet ^^
Finishing my second year studying physics in college, we're finally done with non-galilean dynamics, hopefuly we'll start relativity soon :P

[HerpMcDerpington]

A very dense material would also work (like lead). Why do you think they got blueprints for a manned project to Mars then?

[Cozzi]

true but the more we study space and how we can live their the more complicated it all gets

[darkalien]

hmmm mass is another form of energy? Never knew that...

Makes some sense with the BB theory...

[Ozzypig]

And those particles go into the earth from the top and paste our magnitosphere, and then we get Aurora Broialis

So should I bring an umbrella, or not...!?

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

i actually like that example. but here is the thing. being in the military airborne we do all our prep on the ground and make sure we are ready to go. but i get what you mean lol. Its not to say that the earths cycle is the ONLY thing causing the warming. But changing the entire way we live isnt practical. no more oil? combustion engines provide way more power and torque then electric motors what about cranes, giant machinery, we should reduce but not reform.

They say its gonna die soon.... ( In a long time but "soon")

[Jairion]

True dat.

I still see a logic in our conciousness returning to the state before our birth, when it wasn't existing, but whatever.

[shazta]

research it for yourself the internets is full of knowledge!!

[eviltwin]

Umm kay. Not really, sure it's the reason there's heat but the reason there's global warming is because of the heat unable to escape.

[kamiboy]

Ok, ok, OK... so let me get this right. What your saying is, that if the sun squeezes out a really big solar fart then we all go back to the stone age.

I thought astronomy was for poindexter, but that is awesome dude!

Lets hope our golden god does not have hydrogen beans on the menu in the near future or thar she blows!

[Hawkeyes]

Ok..in my next life..I wanna be an alien!

[eviltwin]

Just to let you know America created NASA.

[Thebestofitalloffcial]

exactly. i dont understand how people bought into all that bull saying its our fault.

[shazta]

water might have been discovered on mars. life has not been discovered on mars.
