Planet-Sized Space Weather Explosions at Venus Engulf Entire Planet Planet-Sized Space Weather Explosions at Venus Engulf Entire Planet
February 21 2014
What is going on these days? Extreme weather on Earth, extreme weather in space!
Space weather explosion could swallow planet Venus! Space weather phenomenon on the outskirts of Earth’s magnetic bubble has larger — much larger — repercussions for Venus, NASA scientists say. Giant explosions called hot flow anomalies in the solar wind can be so large when they encounter Venus they’re bigger than the entire planet can happen multiple times a day, they said.
“Not only are they gigantic,” Glyn Collinson, a space scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said, “but as Venus doesn’t have a magnetic field to protect itself, the hot flow anomalies happen right on top of the planet. They could swallow the planet whole.”
Man! Are you prepared?
