NASA | The Best Observed X-class Flare

Показать описание
On March 29, 2014 the sun released an X-class flare. It was observed by NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS; NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO; NASA's Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, or RHESSI; the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hinode; and the National Solar Observatory's Dunn Solar Telescope located at Sacramento Peak in New Mexico.

To have a record of such an intense flare from so many observatories is unprecedented. Such research can help scientists better understand what catalyst sets off these large explosions on the sun. Perhaps we may even some day be able to predict their onset and forewarn of the radio blackouts solar flares can cause near Earth - blackouts that can interfere with airplane, ship and military communications.

The music track is a bit loud, hard to hear narration.

The music was way to loud to understand the speakers voice. No music at all would be much better. Thanks

Please adjust the audio in future releases. The background music was loud enough that I had a lot of trouble understanding the person who was speaking. I enjoyed the content, and look forward to seeing more uploads.

And we wait until May 7 for NASA to release videos of this when most of us saw it posted by the amateurs hours after.

I really liked the music, can I listen to it separately somewhere? Who's the author?
