#STAR SHOWER MOTION SERIAL NUMBER#
That's the serial number of the Enterprise divided by 10. This one flew to the stratosphere onboard an Earth to Sky Calculus cosmic ray balloon, floating 97,438 feet above the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California: See for yourself with a rare ceramic Capt. WHERE NO MUG HAS GONE BEFORE: There's nothing like morning coffee in a cup from space. Pepe Manteca's photo shows the debris one week later.Īmateur astronomers who wish to help monitor this eruption can find 29P in the constellation Gemini, right here. Astronomers Maria Eleftheriou and Jose Manuel Perez Redondo caught the eruption in progress on April 2nd using the 2.0-m Faulkes Telescope South. It blew like a cork popping from a champagne bottle. Miles and colleagues considered an eruption to be "highly likely" and, indeed, the comet erupted while they watched. "It was the faintest we had ever seen it." Richard Miles of the British Astronomical Association (BAA). "We have been watching 29P especially closely because the pseudo-nucleus became very faint indicative of the crust sealing and preventing outgassing," says Dr.

Out of all the eruptions researchers have seen, this one may be different. "I just photographed gases expanding from a strong eruption on April 2nd," says Pepe Manteca of Begues, Catalunya, Spain: Icy gases burst out of the comet's crust at unpredictable times, multiplying its size and brightness 10-fold or more.

Minor geomagnetic storms are possible if/when the CME arrives. It left the sun on April 7th, propelled an an erupting filament of magnetism. GLANCING-BLOW CME DUE TODAY : NOAA forecasters say that a CME might deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field today. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.

It was a disaster.Sunspot AR3272 has a 'beta-gamma' magnetic field that poses a threat for M-class solar flares. I decided to try and string lights around the wheel chair ramp outside. I remember one year when my husband broke his legs and was in a wheel chair. In our little bathroom test we found that you can even project it to display lights on your ceiling. My son thought it would be the perfect place to set it up. haha! Yes, I walked by the bathroom and opened the door to find a “shower” of Christmas lights in there.

We tested it in the living room and in the bathroom. The kids have really enjoyed using it inside and out. All you will need is an extension cord to reach the desired distance from the house to where you will stake it into the ground. I love the simplicity of the Star Shower Laser Lights. For instance, placing it 10 feet away from your home will cover 206 square feet, while placing it 40 feet away from your home will cover 3,296 square feet. Depending on how far away from your home you place the Star Shower Motion Laser Lights, will determine how large of an area it covers. The bright lights of the laser light can be seen from a distance of 100 yards away. The Star Shower Motion Laser Light comes complete with a foot-long, 2-prong wire plug as well as an indoor base and lawn stake.
#STAR SHOWER MOTION ACTIVATOR#
While regular string lights will light up your home, the Star Shower Motion Laser Lights feature a built-in light sensor, sets up in mere seconds, and is energy efficient. In addition, the Star Shower Motion Laser Lights feature a Motion Activator Button that allows you to display chasing or still lights. How can you do this, you ask? It’s easy! Just place one or several Star Shower Motion Laser Lights on your front lawn and watch your home and landscape light up beautifully in just seconds. This holiday season, illuminate your home without having to climb up and down a ladder to hang a bunch of string lights.
