Discovery Channel Telescope First Light

The Discovery Channel Telescope at Lowell Observatory, near Flagstaff, Ariz., is complete and has begun observing the cosmos with its 16-million-pixel camera. This camera is a close relative to the NSF-funded 36-million-pixel Large Monolithic Imager (LMI) that is now undergoing advanced testing and will soon be the primary imager for the DCT.

Passing Through

by Kristian Ulrich Larsen and Olafur Haraldsson

Music: Division - Moby
Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present.

A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may determine the motion of a universe.


Nikola Tesla "The Electrical Review, 1893"

At 20:54 UT AR11532 produced an M6 solar flare peaking at 20:54 UT in GOES X-rays. Shortly after the flare a filament/prominence structure expanded becoming unstable and erupting. The eruption associated with the flare produced a Type C CME as estimated by the NASA Goddard Space Weather Research Center. The CME's measured speed is ~800 km/s and may impact Earth along with the Messenger, Spitzer, and MSL mission as well as Mars. The NASA Goddard Space Weather Research Center's computer models estimate the Earth impact to be 15:02 UT on 7/31/2012. This video uses data from the SDO/AIA 304 Angstrom wavelength camera and shows material at temperatures predominantly from 40,000 - 80,000 Kelvin.
