Hōʻike ʻo NASA i nā kiʻi kupaianaha o ka lapalapa nui o kēia makahiki

Ua hoʻokuʻu ka National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) i kekahi mau kiʻi kupaianaha o ka lapalapa nui o ka lā nui o 2013, i kū ma ʻApelila 11.

ʻO nā kukui uila ka mea i hoʻomālamalama i ka lā e like me ka ʻike mai ka Honua. Eia nō naʻe, pili lākou i kahi hoʻokuʻu ikehu o ka mana kupaianaha. Wahi a nā ʻepekema, hoʻokuʻu kahi lapalapa i ka nui o ka ikehu e like me nā haneli piliona o nā megatons o TNT.

He mea nui loa kēia no ka Honua, ma ke ʻano he emission mass coronal (CME) e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma hope o ka lapalapa ʻana. Hoʻopili ka CME i nā papa o waho o ka lewa ke kumu o ka ʻino geomagnetic e hoʻopilikia ai i kā mākou mau ukali, pēlā kā mākou kamaʻilio a me nā ʻōnaehana GPS.

ʻIke ʻo NASA i nā kiʻi paʻi o ka lapalapa nui o kēia makahiki

Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā hōʻike mālamalama kupaianaha, i ʻike ʻole ʻia e ka maka ʻōlohelohe, a me nā kāmele maʻamau. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, he lako pono kā NASA, e like me nā aniani a me nā teleskopa, i loaʻa iā ia, e ʻae ana i ka ʻoihana e hopu i nā kiʻi o kēia hanana

Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka lapalapa ahi e like me ka mea nui loa a hiki i ka makahiki 2013. Ke hiki mai nei ke kauwela, ke manaʻo nei ʻo NASA i ka Lā e hoʻā i nā ahi i ʻoi aku ka ikaika ma kā mākou ala. ʻO ka lapalapa i hana ʻia ma ʻApelila 11, kahi M6.5-papa kukuna lā a he ʻāpana ia o ka mahele "waena waena".

E hoʻonui ka pinepine pinepine ʻana o ka lā, e hana ana i nā hiʻohiʻona kukui hou aʻe

Ua hoʻohui ka ʻepekema NASA e hoʻonui i nā lapalapa i loko o ka wā aʻe. ʻO ke kumu no ka maʻalahi e hoʻomaopopo, as ke piʻi nei ka pōʻai 11 mau makahiki o ka Lā i ka mea i kapa ʻia ka palena nui o ka lā, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻonui ʻana o ke alapine flare ma hope o kēia makahiki.

E like me ka maʻa mau, ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou, me ka lapalapa nui ʻana o ka lā, e ukali ʻia e nā ejections nui coronal, e hoʻolālā ana i nā piliona o nā ʻāpana i ka lewa a hoʻopili i kā mākou hāmeʻa uila.

NASA's SDO a me SOHO i lawe i kēia kiʻi maikaʻi loa

I mea e kiʻi ai i kēia mau kiʻi, ua hoʻololi ʻo NASA i kāna teleskope e ʻimi i ka mālamalama i nā nalu o 131 a me 171 Angstroms. Kupaianaha nā hopena a hoʻopili ʻia kekahi kiʻi iā Mars, ʻoiai hāʻawi kekahi i kahi kiʻi o Mars a me Venus.

Ua kiʻi ʻia nā kiʻi āpau me ke kōkua o ka Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) a me ka Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), kahi ʻāpana o kahi hana like ma waena o NASA a me ka European Space Agency (ESA).
