In a solar system full of amazing planets and moons, Jupiter’s moon, Europa, stands out. Sandwiched between its icy skin and mantle, there’s an ocean, twice the volume of all of Earth’s oceans.

A collection of ground-based All-Sky Imagers (ASI) makes an important component of the THEMIS mission in understanding the interaction of the magnetosphere and aurora. It is sometimes referred to as the sixth THEMIS satellite. Descriptions of the instruments are available on the THEMIS-Canada Home Page. Imagery from each camera is co-registered to the surface of the Earth and assembled into a view of the auroral events. This movie presents data from the first large auroral substorm since the THEMIS launch. The substorm reached its maximum between 6:00 and 7:00 UT. This movie zooms in on the Earth, revealing the placement of the ASI ground stations and their sky coverage. We observe the stations coming online as the night progresses.

. chandra.harvard.edu en.wikipedia.org A neutron star is formed from the collapsed remnant of a massive star; ie a Type II, Type Ib, or Type Ic supernova. Models predict that neutron stars consist mostly of neutrons, hence the name. Such stars are very hot, as supported by the Pauli exclusion principle indicating repulsion between neutrons. A neutron star is one of the few possible conclusions of stellar evolution. … NASA Tv Carl Sagan Spitzer Science Technology hawkins Chandra themis Voyager …
