Was Kilauea eruption triggered by cosmic Rays?
There are two space-based observatories – one ahead of Earth in its orbit, the other trailing behind – to catch the structure and evolution of solar storms as they blast from the Sun and move out through space. Well, one of these, Stereo Ahead, is photographing some unusual astral phenomena at the moment. On May 7, 2018 a huge explosion followed by an unprecedented shock wave was captured by the cameras of the space-based observatory, as if some kind of planet had exploded.
Large explosion in our Solary System sends huge shock wave towards Sun and Earth.
So what did explode in our solar system with such a violence? A huge asteroid impact? A planet explosion? Some kind of meteor/ comet impacting a planet? Or maybe an alien spaceship being destroyed before approaching our Planet?
From May 7th, satellite images clearly show a gigantic shockwave being ejected from a strong explosion and continuing to spread across the solar system before reaching our Sun on May 11, 2017.
Kilauea’s crater is located inside the National Park. The park has remained closed since May 11. According to state officials, the explosions and eruptions out of the volcano should not be deadly if people stay out of the park.
Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy concerned with the time varying conditions within the Solar System, including the solar wind, emphasizing the space surrounding the Earth, including conditions in the magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.[1] Space weather is distinct from the terrestrial weather of the Earth's atmosphere (troposphere and stratosphere). The term space weather was first used in the 1950s and came into common usage in the 1990s.
Cosmic rays are high-energy radiation, mainly originating outside the Solar System[1] and even from distant galaxies.[2] Upon impact with the Earth's atmosphere, cosmic rays can produce showers of secondary particles that sometimes reach the surface. Composed primarily of high-energy protons and atomic nuclei, they are of uncertain origin. Data from the Fermi Space Telescope (2013)[3] have been interpreted as evidence that a significant fraction of primary cosmic rays originate from the supernova explosions of stars.
Why are cosmic rays intensifying? The main reason is the sun. Solar storm clouds such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) sweep aside cosmic rays when they pass by Earth. During Solar Maximum, CMEs are abundant and cosmic rays are held at bay. Now, however, the solar cycle is swinging toward Solar Minimum, allowing cosmic rays to return. Another reason could be the weakening of Earth's magnetic field, which helps protect us from deep-space radiation.
