Ev Cochrane: Turquoise Sun – Prequel to Discovery | Thunderbolts
Apr 21, 2024

Second episode in the Turquoise Sun series. A prequel story of personal relationships and events which culminated into the recent book "The Case of the Turquoise Sun: A Natural History of Creation" written by Ev Cochrane.

In a series of collaborative articles in the mid-1980s, Dave Talbott and Ev presented evidence of Venus’s comet-like history, and its association with the Saturn-Venus-Mars polar configuration in prehistoric times—well before the events circa 1500 BCE as described by Immanuel Velikovsky in "Worlds in Collision" (1950).

A core principle of their research found primary mythological motifs reflected in ancient art such as Venus and the Eye of Horus—as described in Egyptian Pyramid Texts—rampaging about the sky in serpentine form and threatening the world with destruction.

A respected comparative mythologist, veteran Thunderbolts contributor Ev Cochrane is the author of Martian Metamorphoses (1997), The Many Faces of Venus (2001), Starf*cker (2006), On Fossil Gods and Forgotten Worlds (2010), and Phaethon (2017).

MAJOR FARSIDE SOLAR FLARE: The biggest flare of Solar Cycle 25 just exploded from the farside of the sun. X-ray detectors on Europe's Solar Orbiter (SolO) spacecraft registered an X14 category blast:

​

Solar Orbiter was over the farside of the sun when the explosion occured on July 23rd, in perfect position to observe a flare otherwise invisible from Earth.

"From the estimated GOES class, it was the largest flare so far," says Samuel Krucker of UC Berkeley. Krucker is the principal investigator for STIX, an X-ray telescope on SolO which can detect solar flares and classify them on the same scale as NOAA's GOES satellites. "Other large flares we've detected are from May 20, 2024 (X12) and July 17, 2023 (X10). All of these have come from the back side of the sun."

Meanwhile on the Earthside of the sun, the largest flare so far registered X8.9 on May 14, 2024. SolO has detected at least three larger farside explosions, which means our planet has been dodging a lot of bullets.

The X14 farside flare was indeed a major event. It hurled a massive CME into space, shown here in a coronagraph movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):



The CME sprayed energetic particles all over the solar system. Earth itself was hit by 'hard' protons (E > 100 MeV) despite being on the opposite side of the sun.

"This is a big one--a 360 degree event," says George Ho of the Southwest Research Institute, principal investigator for one of the energetic particle detectors onboard SolO. "It also caused a high dosage at Mars."

SolO was squarely in the crosshairs of the CME, and on July 24th it experienced a direct hit. In a matter of minutes, particle counts jumped almost a thousand-fold as the spacecraft was peppered by a hail storm energetic ions and electrons.

"This is something we call an 'Energetic Storm Particle' (ESP) event," explains Ho. "It's when particles are locally accelerated in the CME's shock front [to energies higher than a typical solar radiation storm]. An ESP event around Earth in March 1989 caused the Great Quebec Blackout."

So that's what might have happened if the CME hit Earth instead of SolO. Maybe next time. The source of this blast will rotate around to face our planet a week to 10 days from now, so stay tuned

World's largest optical telescope takes shape
Jul 1, 2024

This drone footage shows ESO's Extremely Large Telescope taking shape in the Chilean Atacama Desert. We can see the insulating cladding being used to dress the dome and the white lattice structure at the centre — now almost complete — that will support the ELT’s 39-m primary mirror. Around the 1:30 mark, we can also see two arc-shaped tracks, currently protected with tan wooden plates, bracketing the white lattice. These tracks will allow the telescope to move in altitude. The grey beams at opposite sides of the lattice, seen more clearly at the 2:15 mark, will support the so-called Nasmyth platforms –– two tennis-court-sized areas where the scientific instruments will rest.

Perhaps this new telescope will give us some answers.

Amid controversies and diverging opinions, all of the researchers agree on one thing. A new wide-angle telescope currently under construction could soon put the debate to rest, once the US National Science Foundation and Stanford University researchers start scientific operations in late 2025. Called the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, it has the largest digital camera ever built and sits atop an 8,800-foot mountain in northern Chile.

“This is a next-generation telescope that will search the entire available sky every few days,” Batygin said. “It might just find Planet Nine directly, which would be a fantastic conclusion to the search and open up a new chapter. At the very least, it will find a ton more Kuiper Belt objects. But even if it doesn’t discover a single new object, it will be enough to confirm the Planet Nine hypothesis, because it will test all of the statistics, all of the patterns that we see with an independent survey.”

Rice agrees that the telescope will go a long way to settling the debate, and clearly address the question of the statistical significance of the alignment of trans-Neptunian objects — the key point of evidence for Planet Nine.

If the Rubin telescope finds a super-Earth, Rice said, that would be exciting because these celestial bodies, between the sizes of Earth and Neptune, are a common type of exoplanet.

“We do not have one in the solar system, which seems really strange, and has kind of been an outstanding mystery because we find so many of them in systems around other stars — it would be incredible to actually study one up close, because exoplanets are so far away that it’s very difficult to get a real grasp on exactly what they physically look like,” Rice said.

Finding a smaller planet would also spark excitement, Rice added, because every solar system planet is immensely useful for extrapolating information about the thousands of comparable exoplanets that researchers are uncovering across the galaxy.

And what if nothing shows up at all? It would still be useful to know for sure how many planets there are, Rice said. “I think not even knowing the number of planets in our own solar system is very humbling.”

That means that even the facts that many people learned from textbooks as children can change, as scientists discover more about the universe.

“That’s actually a wonderful thing,” she added. “Human knowledge is continually moving — sometimes it’s huge shifts, sometimes it’s just a back-and-forth debate. It’s a fun, emblematic example of the scientific process.”

Perhaps this new telescope will give us some answers.

Perhaps, but I won't be holding my breath on that, because it will be usually sweeping across the sky too fast/quickly (to be able to cover the whole sky in such a short time) to pick up the faint Sun twin's trail, at least to my knowledge of the LSST project (now called V. Rubin Observatory) and how the LSST camera and its software are supposed to operate.

Vera C. Rubin Observatory Survey Strategy​

The survey strategy for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is the result of balancing the four primary science drivers for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST):

• constraining dark energy and dark matter,
• mapping the Milky Way and Local Volume,
• exploring the transient universe, and
• cataloging the Solar System,

while also attempting to include as much science for the entire astronomical community as possible.

Baseline Strategy​

The current baseline survey (v3.4) consists of :

• “The Main Survey” - the Wide Fast Deep (WFD). This is the bulk of the survey, and is designed to achieve the core science goals of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The WFD could use up to 90% of the total survey time.
• “Mini” and “Micro” Surveys. These are small sub-surveys that cover a different area on the sky (such as the North Ecliptic Spur, Dusty Plane, or South Celestial Pole) or operate in a different observing ‘mode’ (such as the near-sun twilight survey). Minisurveys could use between 3-10% of the total survey time, while microsurveys might require 1-3% of the total survey time.
• “Deep Drilling Fields” (DDFs). These are single pointings (about 10 square degrees each), which receive intensive observations on a regular basis. Each DDF will reach at least 1 magnitude deeper than the WFD coadded depths.

Wide Fast Deep (WFD)​

The Wide Fast Deep (WFD) composes the bulk of the survey visits. The WFD sky includes low-dust extinction area, useful for extragalactic science, as well as higher stellar density areas (with higher dust extinction), useful for galactic science. The total area in the WFD is approximately 19.6k square degrees.
