New Phenomenon of “Blast Waves” Have Been Detected

Here is a bit more on how they were able to detect this strange phenomenon:

The discovery was teased out of data collected between 26 January and 2 February 2010, and a very specific set of conditions led to the identification of both the wave phenomenon and the helium-3 ejections. Because the Sun is constantly rotating, when particle streams like this are expelled, they will travel on a slightly curved trajectory, which means by the time they reach Earth to be observed by our instruments, their origin point is now on the side of the Sun that we can’t observe.

And here are the names of the researchers and institutions responsible for the discovery:

 Nariaki Nitta from the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in the USA and Radoslav Bucík from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany.

We hope you like the video and we will keep you posted on the latest space phenomena.

And with all the hoopla this week about gravity waves here is a video about viewing the universe in such a way:
