             by Richard DePersio with Citizen Journalist

 

The earth's magnetic field shields us by deflecting the solar

 wind: high energy particles emanating from the sun (mostly

protons and electrons). However, some become trapped by

the magnetic field in one of two doughnut or tire shaped

belts known as the Van Allen Belts. Two lower half tires and

two higher half tires.

      The lower belt ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 kilometers*

above the earth while the other belt is approximately 15,000

to 65,000. The inner belt has far more protons the electrons

and the highest density is around 3,500. The outer consisting

mostly of electrons is most dense at about 18,000.

      Satellites and spacecraft can't be placed in the two

densest regions. Objects placed outside of these regions still

need protection.

Urania; "I hate to be a name dropper but what in Hades is going

on at my comsat!?! I'm all about astronomy; the above is not

astronomy. It has a component that might interest Hermes and

should have been placed at www.quasarpolitics.blogspot.com .**

 Where is Eros? He likes to be mischievous. Did he do it?

What can I do about someone smuggling inappropriate material

to my comsat? Unconstitutional feel-ups and porno pics like the

 TSA!?!"

According to the Discovery Channel's "How the Universe Works -

Episode: The Birth of the Earth" (Urania: "Now that's more like

it.") supernova's are necessary for star formation. The shock

wave from a supernova striking a nebula will cause dense

 pockets to form and grow into stars. While PBS/CUNY's

"Astronomy (Urania: "that's what I'm about") - Episode: The Birth

of the Solar System" there weren't enough supernovas since

the first generation stars (the first stars in our Galaxy) to

explain all of the second and third generations. An additional

mechanism must be at work. (Urania: "I love it") Random

motion: Particles moving helter skelter occasionally become

close enough for electrostatic force to cause these few particles

to move together. Over a period on average of 80 million years.

electrostatic forces will cause these little packets to attract

other little packets - from a few particles to dust bunnies of

gas and dust to an object about ten miles across. Now,

gravity is strong enough to kick-in. On average, it will take

another 20 million years and a star is born!

      In both methods, a few particles clump and, eventually.

form stars via the process outlined.

Interstellar dust and gas is very tenuous - in some places

 nearly a vacuum and, in others, not much more. Nebulas

which can later be the nursery for many stars are more dense

 but not dense: if you took a mountain's worth of dust and gas

in a nebula...remember: an atom is mostly empty space, if a

proton were the size of a baseball, the nearest electron

would be about two floors up...removed the empty space in

the atoms, you would end up with a rock about the size of a

baseball!

*1 kilometer = .6 miles, sp 1.000 kilometers = 600 miles.
