The Inouye Solar Telescope Delivers Record-Breaking Images of Solar Flare, Coronal Loops

Amazing stuff!

What little we still know about our star! What if the sun is responsible for most of climate change on earth and not the spurious life essential trace gas CO2?

"On August 8, 2024, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare at the H-alpha wavelength (656.28 nm), revealing dark coronal loop strands in unprecedented detail. The observations, made during the decay phase of an X1.3-class flare, measured loop widths averaging 48.2 km, with some even half as narrow.

By using the Inouye Solar Telescope to isolate light at the H-alpha wavelength, emitted by hydrogen atoms, solar physicists can identify fine structures in the lower solar atmosphere too small to observe in the past—offering a potential breakthrough in determining the fundamental scale of coronal loops and advancing solar flare modeling. By improving researchers’ ability to model solar flares, these observations will also improve forecasting for space weather events that are hazardous to satellites, power grids, and communications on Earth. ..."

"A high-resolution image of the flare from the Inouye Solar Telescope, taken on August 8, 2024, at 20:12 UT. The image is about 4 Earth-diameters on each side. Labels of the different relevant regions of the image are added for clarity: flare ribbons (bright areas of energy release in the dense lower solar atmosphere) and an arcade of coronal loops (arcs of plasma outlining magnetic field lines that transport energy from the corona to the flare ribbons)."

Very recommendable! The environmental concerns are as usual overblown!

Not everyone tries to bribe or extort the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President!

Deadly Hawaii Fires Are Result of Political and Policy Failures—Not Climate Change

This sums it up quite well! Climate Change is a cheap excuse!

Deadly Hawaii Fires Are Result of Political and Policy Failures—Not Climate Change

US President Biden to visit fire-hit Maui on Monday. Really!

The senile, demented, and corrupted 46th President is probably only extending his beach vacation from Delaware to Hawaii!

Maybe I underestimate the 46th President and he will actually declare his resignation in Hawaii wearing a colorful Hawaiian necklace. This would go down well in history!

Incredible aerial video shows lava fountains at the summit of Mauna Loa

What a mesmerizing landscape! Like the volcano Etna on Sicily, a very special place!

Why Hawaii Got Electricity Before Most of the Rest of the World

Recommendable! When the king of invention and the king of Hawaii got together ... 

" ... Interestingly, the electrification of Iolani Palace was not the first demonstration of electric lighting in the Hawaiian Islands. That distinction goes to a sugar mill on Maui owned by sugar magnate Claus Spreckels. On 22 September 1881, Spreckels demonstrated electric lights at Mill No. 1 on his plantation. He realized that artificial lighting would allow his workers to process sugar cane around the clock, thus avoiding the expense of any downtime during peak season. ... "

Cousins Across The Sea (Folklore Documentary)

Very recommendable! A tribute to Thor Heyerdahl! Amazing seafarers using star clusters, sea birds, and ocean currents to go back and forth between Hawaii and other Polynesian islands and Canadian or Washington state coastline

P.S. The video comes with a large number of annoying commercials! Be warned!

Hawaiin Sunburn In Phonix, Arizona

Posted: 11/30/2015

I recently saw this older Porsche Target in Phoenix, Arizona with a revealing license plate:

Smile God Loves You

Just seen in a parking garage in Paradise Valley (mall), Arizona. License plate is from Hawaii.

Smiles and laughter are disarming. Or as the Beatles were singing happiness is a warm gun. It's contagious in a positive way.

Smiles and laughter must have been invented by God. And there is no patent pending. :-)

Do you have any doubts?

P.S. In case you do not get it enlarge the sign in the wind shield. Unfortunately the resolution of this photo is not great.
