Everyone calm down.....I'm pretty sure that sun won't blust for at least 2 weeks yet....and it will only be limited blust. I remember when I was a kid and the sun blusted....I was really scared at the time, but it turned OK.

ok, i will plan my life starting today, get married tom and have some kids by next year.

By GEORGE SANFORD

The Sun is overheating and will soon blow up -- taking Earth and the rest of the solar system with it, scientists warn.

The alert was issued after an international satellite photographed a massive explosion on the surface of the Sun that sent a plume of fire 30 times longer than the diameter of Earth blasting into space.

"It's a sign that the Sun is ready to blow -- I don't know if I can put it any more plainly than that," says Dutch astrophysicist Dr. Piers Van der Meer, a top expert affiliated with the European Space Agency.

"It will be like a nuclear bomb trillions of times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima going off at the center of our solar system.

"When that happens Earth will be instantly incinerated along with all life on it. It's like when a marshmallow falls into a fire, blackens and melts."

Scientists say the problem is the Sun is literally getting too hot.

The core temperature of the Sun is normally 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. But in recent years it's climbed to an alarming 49 million degrees, says Dr. Van der Meer, leader of a team of Amsterdam-based space scientists who've been tracking the changes in the Sun.

"It's quite similar to when a star goes supernova at the end of its life," Dr. Van der Meer explains. "Over the past 11 years, we've seen our Sun go through changes frighteningly like those that took place in Kepler's Star right before it was observed going supernova in 1604."

Temperatures on the surface of the Sun have been steadily climbing over the past decade, the scientists say.

"This, we believe, not man-made pollution, is responsible for global warming and the alarming effects that we've seen take place on Earth such as the melt-down of the Antarctic ice shelves," asserted Dr. Van der Meer.

The July 1 images were taken by the space-based Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a satellite designed to study the internal structure of the Sun and operated jointly by NASA and the European Space Agency.

"The explosion -- known technically as an eruptive prominence -- was colossal," said Dr. Van der Meer. "This is the final warning sign we've all been dreading."

The Dutch scientists calculate that if temperatures keep climbing at the current rate the Sun will be unable to sustain itself.

"It will blow apart like an out-of-control nuclear reactor within six years," predicts Dr. Van der Meer.

NASA refuses to confirm the Euro-pean scientists' assertions and a White House source said, "We don't need anyone spreading more panic now."

I don't think that the sun is close enough to Canada that it will even be affected by the blusting.....so you won't have to worry.

Chichio · 11-05-2003, 02:22 PM

ok, for those that don't like to read:

from the article linked above:

Quote:

First, the sun is too small to ever go supernova, so the basic premise of the article is incorrect. There just isn't enough mass in our sun to cause it to explode and collapse to form a neutron star or black hole.

Quote:

I haven't been able to find out any information on this guy "Dr. Piers Van der Meer". There's an online database, called the Astrophysics Data System, that keeps records of Journal articles published in astronomy/astrophysics/planetary science. Even beginning graduate students will show up in the records because they've usually been to at least one conference

Quote:

Since surface temperature determines a star's color, the sun would actually appear blue if its surface temperature had doubled! Everyone would be able to notice that.

Quote:

So, I think what happened is that Weekly World News pieced together some truths and found some person willing to add a few extra things to make the story exciting. It's certainly not credible astrophysics!

So, we're all gonna die, just not from the sun exploding in 6 years.

11-05-2003, 02:24 PM

In the sun's overall age, 6 years is quite a significant number.

KraZ · 11-05-2003, 02:29 PM

BLUST!!! I though I heard the latest in Russian-English slang ...

Man, I've already told this story many times but back in college, I had a Russian guy ask me for a favor. His email ended:

Thank advanced
I'm your owner
Dimitri

I figure it means: Thanks in advance, I owe you..." but who am I, right?

KraZ · 11-05-2003, 02:35 PM

I remember now ...

the SUN has to be at least 3.7 times heavier in order to have a chance to become a Nova. They don't teach this stuff in high school and they should!

or maybe it was 3.7 times heavier to become a black hole...

JamesK · 11-05-2003, 02:40 PM

all scientists talk crap. the sun isn't gonna blow up. nothing is gonna happen. move on.

testuser · 11-05-2003, 02:47 PM

Good link Chichio.

I thought I was going nuts when someone mentioned sun and supernova in the same sentence.
