Explore the Solar System FASTER!

I spent my early youth WAITING for the Apollo missions to hurry-up and get to the Moon already – with no appreciation how long such endeavors take. Working on a presentation about the Europa Clipper mission, I was both amused and dismayed at how long it would be before that mission reached its destination.

I was struck by the fact that I will probably never see everything in the solar system explored that I’d like to see explored, and that I selfishly want the pace of solar system exploration to accelerate exponentially!

Well, you have seen more of the solar system explored than any of your deceased ancestors had during their own lifetimes. Pretty fortunate, I'd say.

The Sky - In the Sky

Venus, Saturn and Mars continue to appear in the southeastern predawn sky all week.

The Moon - In the Sky
  • The Moon is a Waxing Crescent – visible toward the southwest in early evening.
  • The First Quarter Moon occurs on March 10th – visible high in the southern sky in early evening.
  • After March 10th, the Moon will be a Waxing Gibbous – visible to the southeast in early evening, up for most of the night.

The Sun - In the Sky

The Sun again has five named sunspots, and a new sunspot is rotating into view in the upper left of the image.

Spaceweather.com says “A faint CME (movie) might sideswipe Earth’s magnetic field on March 10th. It left the Sun on March 7th following the eruption of a magnetic filament; no sunspots were involved. The glancing blow could spark minor G1-class geomagnetic storms later this week.”

The Sun seen in 193 angstroms on March 7th.

Coronal loops everywhere! Whatever is rotating into view in the upper left is pretty obvious. Lot of eruptions in the bright active regions – both poles appear to have opened up a little.

The Sun seen in 304 angstroms on March 7th.

Prominences everywhere again – some very long-lived ones too! Whatever is rotating into view has a lot of prominence activity, and is spitting quite a bit.

Messier Tour: M8

Messier 8 (M8), also known as the Lagoon Nebula, is a large, bright emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius. The star-forming nebula has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies at a distance of 4,100 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 6523 in the New General Catalogue.

The Lagoon Nebula is currently undergoing a period of active star formation and has already formed a sizable cluster of stars. NGC 6530, the extremely young open cluster formed from the material of M8, has a visual magnitude of 4.6 and covers an area of 14 arc minutes in the sky. It is centred in the eastern part of the nebula. – messier-objects.com

The Lagoon Nebula is estimated to be between 4,000–6,000 light-years away from the Earth. In the sky of Earth, it spans 90′ by 40′, which translates to an actual dimension of 110 by 50 light years. Like many nebulae, it appears pink in time-exposure color photos but is gray to the eye peering through binoculars or a telescope, human vision having poor color sensitivity at low light levels.

The nebula contains a number of Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material), the most prominent of which have been catalogued by E. E. Barnard as B88, B89 and B296. It also includes a funnel-like or tornado-like structure caused by a hot O-type star that emanates ultraviolet light, heating and ionizing gases on the surface of the nebula. – Wikipedia

M8, the Lagoon Nebula, is an emission nebula that was discovered before 1654; Messier added M8 to his catalogue in 1764
