| They made sure it wasn't some kind of electromagnetic disturbance, such as a solar flare or lightning. |
|
| The intense X rays from a solar flare travel to Earth at the speed of light, giving space weather watchers little time to react. |
|
| In 1989 a solar flare that hit the Earth directly actually knocked out a whole power grid in Quebec. |
|
| A solar flare or burst in cosmic radiation would eventually kill humans unless a greater level of protection can be provided. |
|
| The blast, called a solar flare, was equal to one million megatons of TNT and gave off powerful bursts of X-rays. |
|
| A solar flare is a more violent eruption from the photosphere that releases an enormous amount of energy. |
|
| There's a massive solar flare going on right now, and the Northern Lights are visible here in Edinburgh, even in town, with all of the city's background light. |
|
| Should a solar flare vibrate the interstellar plasma in the next few years, the tone would be higher still. |
|
| Still, the Cowboys' on-field compass can gyrate as if being hit by a solar flare. |
|
| Will a solar flare cause a geomagnetic reversal of the North and South Poles? |
|
| During transit the solar flare particles catch up with slower particles emitted earlier. |
|
| The astrophysicists at the Paris Observatory are also asked to assess the impact of the solar flare. |
|
| One must therefore wait several weeks before being able to calculate the doses received on flights during a solar flare. |
|
| Measurement of the secondary particles reaching the ground in the polar regions, during the 15 April 2001 solar flare. |
|
| However, the ejection of solar plasma was 96,000 km longer than that recorded during the previous solar flare that occurred in November. |
|
| An observation of the sunspots will point to a solar flare a few minutes before it occurs, but its intensity will be impossible to predict. |
|
| In the event of a significant solar flare, a specific mapping is created and validated. |
|
| The main problem is that these models do not allow an assessment of the effect of an unpredictable solar flare. |
|
| During a solar flare, the sunlit side of the Earth is hit by hard X-rays and UV radiation. |
|
| The monitoring the signal strength of a distant VLF transmitter allows to record SIDs related to solar flare or GRB events. |
|
|
|
| As Glinda, Chenoweth scorched the stage like a solar flare of comedic energy. |
|
| In 1859, astronomer Richard Carrington observed a strong solar flare that was directed at the Earth. |
|
| The bright regions are related to solar flare activity which is also responsible for intense particle emissions. |
|
| In 1989 the coronal mass ejection triggered by a moderately large solar flare did a lot of damage. |
|
| In 1859, astronomer Richard Carrington became the lucky first to witness a solar flare. |
|
| The 131 wavelength of light is used for observing solar material heated to 10 million degrees Kelvin, as in a solar flare. |
|
| The biggest threat, says Mr Rawles, is a huge solar flare. |
|
| Eventually the energy stored in the magnetic field is released in a solar flare as the magnetic field settles back into a lower energy state. |
|
| Acute effects are not expected to result from exposure to space radiation, except if an astronaut is exposed to a large solar particle event, such as a solar flare, which produces a high dose of radiation. |
|
| Find out how space weather phenomena have a variety of effects on technology. Tour an interactive diagram to find out how particles such as solar flare protons influence avionics, spacecraft electronics and GPS signals. |
|
| Soft x-ray image of a solar flare on the Sun. |
|
| Or that their flaring arthritis is in sync with a solar flare. |
|
| The main threat comes when a solar flare disrupts the earth's magnetosphere. |
|
| An X-class solar flare is the strongest type of solar flare, but the series of eruptions earlier this year weren't directly facing Earth. |
|
| Any satellite that flies in the depths of space has to be able to withstand the rigors of space, including the icy cold or the intense heat and radiation of a solar flare. |
|
| The energy source for solar flare activity comes from the tangling of magnetic field lines resulting from the rotation of the Sun's conductive plasma. |
