All that and more still to come on Space Time.
Stuart GaryHOST
Astronomers have for the first time discovered an event similar to a coronal mass ejection which normally blasts out of stars, but this one was blasting out of a black hole.
Stuart GaryHOST
The observations, reported in the astrophysical journal Letters, represent the first-ever evidence of a solar storm-like magnetic eruption event from the space surrounding a supermassive black hole.
Stuart GaryHOST
The phenomenon was discovered in the galaxy NGC 3783, a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Centaurus located some 135 million light-years away.
Stuart GaryHOST
Coronal mass ejections are powerful explosions linked to stellar flares, blasting out millions to billions of tons of charged particles, X-ray radiation and magnetic field off the surface of stars, including our sun.
Stuart GaryHOST
These coronal mass ejections originate from the conversion of magnetic energy into kinetic energy through a process called magnetic reconnection.
Stuart GaryHOST
The study's lead author, Gal Vardy from Technicon, the Israel Institute of Technology, says it's the first time magnetic reconnection eruptions have been observed originating from the corona of a black hole.
Stuart GaryHOST
Vardy and colleagues monitored X-ray emissions from near the black hole using NASA's CRISM space telescope.
DanielleGUEST
I think that we don't have enough study in that area to really understand the impact that it has on humans.
DanielleGUEST
the magnetic field, or maybe, maybe I just don't, and volcano, volcanoes, because, oh, by the way, in those groups, they're like, no, the CMEs have nothing to do with volcanic activity.
DanielleGUEST
Those are the moderators.
DanielleGUEST
And I'm just like, no.
Jimmy BuddHOST
If a storm of this magnitude occurred today, it could cause widespread blackouts, permanent damage to high-voltage power grids, and severe disruption to satellites and GPS systems.
Jimmy BuddHOST
Similar large-scale storms have occurred or nearly missed Earth since, such as a major storm in 1921, the March 1989 storm that knocked out power in Quebec, and a Carrington-class CME from the sun that narrowly missed Earth in July 2012.
JackHOST
So
Jimmy BuddHOST
you could have
Elizabeth GarciaHOST
So our friendly neighborhood star is our life force, but it can also be our greatest foe.
Elizabeth GarciaHOST
Catastrophic CMEs, such as the Carrington event, could once again happen.
Elizabeth GarciaHOST
How is PSP helping us to find better ways of predicting deadly solar storms and protecting ourselves from these disastrous geomagnetic storms.
Kelly KorreckGUEST
Yeah, so you mentioned the 1859 Carrington event.
Kelly KorreckGUEST
And so it's a great place to start.
Kelly KorreckGUEST
And we predicted when we were planning for PSP initially that we might see seven total in our entire seven-year mission.
Kelly KorreckGUEST
And within the first orbit, so within around 90 to 180, I think, days, we saw two CMEs.
Kelly KorreckGUEST
So this is something that We started looking at and seeing that there was definitely something different going on with space weather there.
MoritzHOST
Doch das war nur der Funke.
MoritzHOST
Darauf folgte ein koronaler Massenauswurf, kurz CME, der eine Wolke aus magnetisiertem Plasma von einer Milliarde Tonnen direkt auf die Erde schleuderte.
MoritzHOST
Knapp einen Tag nach Carringtons Entdeckung tauchten Polarlichter den Himmel bis hinunter zum Äquator in schimmernde Farben.
MoritzHOST
Manche glaubten, der Himmel stehe in Flammen.
MoritzHOST
Doch wenn so etwas heute passiert, dann sieht die Sache ganz anders aus.
MoritzHOST
Und das Verrückte? 2012 wäre es uns fast passiert.
MoritzHOST
Ein CME kreuzte damals die Erdbahn knapp eine Woche, bevor die Erde genau diese Stelle passierte.
MoritzHOST
Er traf die NASA-Sonde Stereo A und ihre Messungen zeigten, er war genauso stark wie das Carrington-Ereignis im 19.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
When you see a solar flash, that's not plasma.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
That's the photon flash before the plasma, before the CME comes.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
When you see a rainbow...
Ra CastaldoGUEST
That's not plasma.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
That packet of light is a photon.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
So rainbows are an example.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
A solar flash is the photon flash, and then afterwards the CME comes, which is the mass, the coronal mass ejection.
Ra CastaldoGUEST
That's carrying the plasma.
Forrest GarvinHOST
It just won't happen.
Forrest GarvinHOST
Man, what do you think about, you know, EMPs? What do you think about CMEs? What do you think about, you know, was COVID a hoax? I mean, just you bring that up at work, you might get thrown out of work.
Forrest GarvinHOST
HR will come get you.
Forrest GarvinHOST
I'm not saying it is.
Brad LailGUEST
So there are varying levels of ways that these things can come in.
Brad LailGUEST
And so when the conditions are right, when solar flares are happening, when CMEs are happening, Uh, when every day when the sun is going down and the sun is coming up, these are windows of opportunities for these things to come in because these are hot moments where the plasma or the sun spews out plasma and it electrifies the plasma that's around us and it gets them hot enough to where they can form into a body, right? And when they come into this reality in the form of plasma, they're invisible.
Brad LailGUEST
You got to think about the jellyfish UFO that Jeremy Corbell shared a long time ago, back in 2019.
Brad LailGUEST
Yep,
57 MINS LATER
Brad LailGUEST
So, you know, we have, you know, the Schumann resonance is 7.82 Hertz, right? And our brainwaves essentially work at that same frequency.
Brad LailGUEST
And I think that, uh, getting at those signal signals in the sky, nobody else is talking about this in the way else that I know of is talking about this theory at all.
Brad LailGUEST
Somebody that I know asked, um, Lou Elizondo and Timothy Albrino this question and they looked at each other like oh crap how did that person know like they were talking about me essentially but what happens is like there's solar flares and there's CMEs that happen and We go through this solar cycle every 11 years.
Brad LailGUEST
We have a solar maximum and a solar minimum.
Chris MarquardtHOST
Ähm, die k-können verschieden stark sein und die können mit dem Magnetfeld der Erde interagieren und die können Polarlichter machen.
Chris MarquardtHOST
Und dann gibt es die Coronal Mass Ejections, die CMEs.
Chris MarquardtHOST
Das sind ganz große Plasmawolken, die 'n eigenes Magnetfeld mitbringen und die kommen dann irgendwann bei der Erde an.
Chris MarquardtHOST
Typischerweise brauchen die von der Sonne bis zur Erde irgendwo zwisch-zwischen ein, zwei, drei Tage.
