Experience the awe-inspiring power of the universe with a journey
to see the aurora australis and witness spaghettification
first-hand! Learn about Aurora displays from this Space Nuts
podcast episode featuring Fred Watson and Andrew Dunkley.
Apparently, people have been seeing these aurora displays in
unusual places due to various plasma bubbles being spat out from
the sun. This is not surprising as we are approaching the solar
maximum, which is the regular up and down trend in the number of
sunspots that appear on the sun. These sunspots are highly intense
regions of magnetism that release energy in the form of plasma
bubbles which cause the green, red and sometimes purple lights of
the aurora. It is unusual for people to be seeing the aurora in
places such as the UK, and the best time to look is near the
equinox. Plus we’re witnessing a spaghettification first hand, but
what exactly is that, and lastly, the Space Station was damaged by
a micrometeoroid and a rescue mission is underway. In this episode,
you will learn the following: 1. People are seeing the aurora in
unexpected places - what is causing this phenomenon? 2. What will
happen to the mysterious gas cloud X-7 as it passes closest to a
black hole in 2036? 3. An uncrewed rescue mission was sent to the
International Space Station - what was the mission and why was it
necessary? Connect with us: Facebook: spacenutspodcast YouTube:
