Description:
Last week the Sun let out an epic roar in the form of an X-class flare. That wasn’t particularly out of the ordinary, especially as the Sun approaches the apex of its 11-year solar cycle. However, the resulting coronal mass ejection happened to coincide with our planetary orbit, meaning it came right at us. Now the Sun has released an even more powerful flare.

This kind of orbit allowed it to stay above a fixed location as Earth rotates. One of the instruments on this spacecraft was a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer (VISSR), which provided high-quality cloudcover data 24 hours a day. It also carried a data collection and transmission system that allowed it to relay data from central weather facilities to smaller regional stations. Another device known as a space environmental monitor measured the charged particles in Earth’s radiation belts and the solar wind. The satellite was shaped like a cylinder and measured about 7.5 feet long, not including a 33-inch magnetometer that stuck out of one end. It launched from Cape Canaveral on a Delta rocket and remained operational for about 7 years. It was replaced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s new GOES satellite, which was almost identical.")
