    The Milky Way and Storms over Africa [video]

    NASA video posted January 18, 2012 The following video has been created by the Crew Earth Observations team at Johnson Space Center from a series of still images taken onboard the International Space Station. This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken December 29, 2011 from 20:55:05 to 21:14:09 GMT, on a pass from over central Africa, near southeast Niger, to the South Indian Ocean, southeast of Madagascar. The complete pass is over southern Africa to the ocean, focusing on the lightning flashes from local storms and the Milky Way rising over the horizon. The Milky Way can be spotted as a hazy band of white light at the beginning of the video. The pass continues southeast toward the Mozambique Channel and Madagascar. The Lovejoy Comet can be seen very faintly near the Milky Way. The pass ends as the sun is rising over the dark ocean.

    I've been reading about the increase in solar flares too. I got PIR to register, now if I could only get him to show up.

      damn that's trippy as hell

      reminds me of star trek bigtime

      It's like i'm hanging on the bottom of the enterprise as it orbits...

      whoops dropped my retainer there.

        what is that shit that flies by about halfway through? Is that the comet they mentioned or was that satellites or something?

        looked like a bunch of shit flew away from the earth

            yeah, it would be nice if that idiot would show up so we could start making a nice science / space forum/threads

            sheesh, times a wastin'

                'First Light' Taken by NASA's Newest CERES Instrument on Suomi NPP

                February 2, 2012

                The doors are open on NASA's Suomi NPP satellite and the newest version of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument is scanning Earth for the first time, helping to assure continued availability of measurements of the energy leaving the Earth-atmosphere system.

                The CERES results help scientists to determine the Earth's energy balance, providing a long-term record of this crucial environmental parameter that will be consistent with those of its predecessors.

                In the longwave image, heat energy radiated from Earth (in watts per square meter) is shown in shades of yellow, red, blue and white. The brightest-yellow areas are the hottest and are emitting the most energy out to space, while the dark blue areas and the bright white clouds are much colder, emitting the least energy. Increasing temperature, decreasing water vapor, and decreasing clouds will all tend to increase the ability of Earth to shed heat out to space.

                  That would be cool. I'd happily expand the sub forum's description or maybe even resurrect his science and hobby forum.

                        The center of the Milky Way Galaxy tastes like raspberries.

                        I just buy a package of raspberries whenever i get homesick.
