ESA's Cluster Spacecraft Makes Shocking Discovery
A recent observation by the ESA's Cluster Spacecraft was able to finally prove a 20-year-old theory. "On 24 January 2001, the four Cluster spacecraft were flying at an approximate altitude of 105 000 kilometres, in tetrahedron formation. Each spacecraft was separated from the others by a distance of about 600 kilometres. With such a distance between them, as they approached the bow shock, scientists expected that every spacecraft would record a similar signature of the passage through this region. Instead, the readings they got were highly contradictory. They showed large fluctuations in the magnetic and electric field surrounding each spacecraft. They also revealed marked variations in the number of solar wind protons that were reflected by the shock and streaming back to Sun."
I have nothing to say and I'm saying it.
I am really truly shocked to hear this! Can you believe this ?!
sometimes people need a slap on the back not in the face.
back on topic re: gf's...man sometimes they do that. if you are at fault im sure you ll figure it out. just remember it cuts both ways and relationships *demand* communication that is at least honesty and hard work.
back on topic re: rocket ships...wth is this article about?? are they gonna find us a FTL drive? cuz if not im not really interested.
