NASA | A First for IRIS: Observing a Gigantic Solar Eruption
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 30 Μαΐ 2014
A coronal mass ejection burst off
the side of the sun on May 9, 2014. The giant sheet of solar material
erupting was the first CME seen by NASA's Interface Region Imaging
Spectrograph, or IRIS. The field of view seen here is about five Earth's
wide and about seven and a half Earth's tall.
IRIS must commit
to pointing at certain areas of the sun at least a day in advance, so
catching a CME in the act involves some educated guesses and a little
bit of luck.
The IRIS Observatory was designed by and the
mission is managed by Lockheed Martin Solar & Astrophysics
Laboratory. NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California,
provides mission operations and ground data systems. NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the Explorers
Program for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C.
