What is it?


KP_PP

Ever been walking along and seen someone sneeze, then you walked right into the cloud of it? Kinda like that. With plasma and high energy particles instead of boogers


ivekilledhundreds

So what is it?

CME is a corneal mass ejection, it is when the sun expels a large cloud of plasma and energy. It says the ability to disrupt our satellites and our power grid if a strong enough one were to hit the Earth. Back in the late 19th century they had what was called the Carrington event which was an X-class solar flare that hit the earth and fried all the newly hung Telegraph line.

Sun snot

I call cap. The sun is hot hot. Like, really hot. Gtfo Parker’s anal probe..


Gandalf_Style

The material we use to make and mask modern spacecrafts can withstand up to 2000 kelvin before degrading and are incredibly efficient in disappating heat. Despite the ejection itself being well over 2 million Kelvin, the surface of the facing heat shield will only get to about 1700 kelvin, while the back will be about 500 kelvin and the probe itself will be 300 kelvin (about as hot as an average summer day in france or greece)


ShroomAholix

Withstand for how long?


Gandalf_Style

Long enough, since it worked. Lemme look for an answer though


Gandalf_Style

The coronal ejection flyby lasted 47 days, of which three ejections lasting more than 10 hours were hammering the craft. Once the mission is "done" in 2025 it will be twIce as close to the sun as Mercury is and stay locked in heliocentric orbit for the rest of it's estimated lifetime of 30 years.


ShroomAholix

Impressive. Thank you for your input , needs color


ShroomAholix

And wouldn’t plasma/radiation affect the transmission of this info from like “inside the sun”, it’s been a while, how much has it emitted already?


Complex_Inspector_60

The probe is going 430,000 mph right now. It will approach to within 9.86 solar radii (6.9 million km or 4.3 million miles) from the center of the Sun, and by 2025 will travel, at closest approach, as fast as 690,000 km/h (430,000 mph) or 191 km/s, which is 0.064% the speed of light. It is the fastest object ever built.


Khorde__the__Husk

It's hot.


iPon3

It sure was when this was recorded


plumpsquirrell

Need color


ShroomAholix

Need more color


Ok-Stretch-1777

We’ve literally launched a spacecraft so strong it can withstand being inside the corona of the sun and here you are saying “need color.” Jfc no wonder everything is so fucked. We’ve lost our sense of wonder and awe. You realize that barely 3000 years ago we were worshipping the sun? The things you will see in this century will either blow you away or simply “need color.”


DonCavalio

You didn't what we're looking at either huh.


cannabisized

the "need color" thought is exactly the thought that is going to pioneer the next advancement of space exploration. they never would have launched the JWST if we listened to people like you after the hubble was put in orbit


darthsexium

dont mind him he's probably a Ricky or a Randy. Come on Bubbles I have this new set-up you gonna love and we're gonna make extra. This time we wont fuck up


plumpsquirrell

Chill baby, the color is needed for a better understanding and to keep our young minds interested, go eat a snickers


Gandalf_Style

Same energy as "why is it so blurry" with the picture of a SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE MILLIONS OF LIGHTYEARS AWAY Bro. Man. Dude. Homie. Fella. Kid. Whatever the fuck else you wanna be called. *this is a spacecraft going a significant percentage of the speed of light travelling through a solar flare* How much fucking cooler do you want science to get before it's good enough? If you desperately want color though: make it white and red. That's the color of a solar flare.


Felipesssku

Why they always make things look like it's simulation or it's staged?
