apakah aurora tu??
aku tahu aurora jet dalam game command and conquer jer..
Apa itu Aurora? Aurora ialah cahaya semulajadi yang kelihatan di langit, di waktu malam, terutamanya di kawasan kutub utara dan selatan dari masa ke masa sejak beribu-ribu tahun yang lalu. Aurora berlaku di kawasan antara 65 to 72 darjah garis lintang utara dan selatan (kawasan Artik dan Antartika). Di kutub utara, aurora ini di kenali sebagai aurora borealis, manakala aurora di kutub selatan dinamakan aurora australis. Ini merupakan salah satu fenomena alam yang terjadi dari masa ke masa…. Subhanallah. Apabila aurora terjadi, cahaya matahari di kawasan hemisfera utara akan bercahaya hijau atau kadang-kadang berwarna kemerah-merahan, kelihatannya seperti matahari terbit dari arah luar biasa. Baru-baru ini, fenomena aurora berlaku di hemisfera utara yang menghasilkan cahaya matahari berwarna hijau serta warna kemerah-merahan juga…. Allahu Akbar! Bagaimanakah aurora yang menakjubkan ini terjadi? Dipanjangkan di sini maklumat mengenai aurora untuk dikongsi bersama….. Solar storm hitting Earth causes spectacular aurora displays A large solar storm has caused spectacular aurora displays across the Northern Hemisphere after blasting out of the Sun three days ago. On August 1, almost the entire side of the Sun that faces the Earth erupted in a blaze of activity known as a “coronal mass ejection”. These storms throw up to 10 billion tons of plasma – superheated gas – off the surface of the star and hurtling into space at around a million miles an hour. It covered the 93 million mile journey from the Sun to the Earth in just three and a half days. It was the “first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time,” according to Leon Golub, a scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), who warned of the event on Monday. The flare which caused the eruption was relatively small, described as a class C3 by astronomers. Other flares, known as X or M class, are much larger, and capable of doing damage on Earth. C-class flares rarely have much effect on Earth beyond auroras – the glowing displays towards the poles, like the Northern (and Southern) Lights. Dramatic auroras were seen in Denmark, Norway, Greenland, Germany and across the northern United States and Canada as the expanding bubble of gas slammed into the Earth’s atmosphere. The frequently beautiful displays are caused by the charged particles in the plasma interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field – the solar matter is drawn towards the poles, where they collide with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere. While no damage seems to have been done by this flare, Nasa astronomers have previously warned that a much larger solar storm could cause havoc with electrical systems on Earth. In 2013, the Sun is expected to reach a stage in its roughly 11-year cycle when large storms are more likely. In 1859, one huge flare burned out telegraph wires across Europe and the USA. The so-called “Carrington flare”, named after its discoverer, “smothered two-thirds of the Earth’s skies in a blood-red aurora a night later, and crippled all global navigation and global communication, such as it was at that time. Compasses spun uselessly and the telegraph network went down as phantom electricity surged through the wire,” according to Dr Stuart Clark, author of The Sun Kings. More recently, in 1989, a smaller but still enormous storm caused the power grids in Quebec to go down for nine hours, causing hundreds of millions’ worth of dollars in lost revenue.
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections and aurora borealis in pictures:  In this X-ray photo provided by NASA, the sun is shown early in the morning of Sunday, August 1, 2010. The dark arc near the top right edge of the image is a filament of plasma blasting off the surface – part of the coronal mass ejection. The bright region is an unassociated solar flare. When particles from the eruption reach Earth on the evening of August 3-4, they may trigger a brilliant auroral display known as the Northern Lights ~ Picture: AP / NASA
 This still from an April 12-13 video recorded by NASA’s new Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows an eruptive prominence blasting away from the sun. The prominence appears to stretch almost halfway across the sun, about 500,000 miles ~ Picture: AP / NASA

Reds are relatively cool (about 60,000 Kelvin, or 107,540 F); blues and greens are hotter (greater than 1 million Kelvin, or 1,799,540 F) ~ Picture: AP / NASA.

 The whorls and loops of the corona extend millions of miles into space, are nearly 200 times hotter than the visible surface of the sun, and yet aren’t nearly as bright and hence can only be seen during eclipses ~ Picture: Miloslav Druckmuller / SWNS
 A total solar eclipse, showing solar flares and prominences past the limb of the Sun, which is blocked by the Moon, and the solar corona. This eclipse took place during a maximum of a sunspot cycle, and the image is processed to show not only the corona but also the chromosphere and the prominences ~ Picture: Jay Pasachoff/Science Faction/Corbis

 Two active regions glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Sun. A small flare rises from the active area on the left. Flares are intense explosions on the Sun that blast radiation into space. This one paints a white line across the left horizon of the Sun. The active area on the right churns with magnetic loops. Arcs of charged particles rise from the surface and are drawn back down again in the magnetic field. Magnetic storms bombard Earth with charged particles that can interfere with electronics systems and satellites ~ Picture: NASA / Corbis
