NASA misssion to know sun interior mechanisms

London: NASA is planning to launch a mission to unravel the sun's interior mechanisms on February 9 from Space Launch Complex-41, Cape Canaveral AFS, Florida. The mission will help U.S. space agency to predict solar storms that cause chaos on Earth,

NASA is all set for a new ambitious mission to unravel the sun's interior mechanisms that may help predict solar storms that cause chaos on Earth. According to NASA, after its launch, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will spend five years in orbit trying to discover how such solar phenomena are created.

Scientists involved in this mission, think that they will be able to produce reliable forecasts of space weather and provide advance warnings of any threat, reports The Sunday Times. Since long, scientists have been saying that solar disturbances on the sun can trigger dangerous x-rays, charged particles and magnetic fields that can disrupt power supplies, communication signals and aircraft navigation systems on Earth.
