Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., hemos recibido una información de la Agencia Espacial NASA, que se va realizar un estudio del Sistema Magnético de la Tierra, todos alguna vez de nuestra vida nos encontramos fascinados por el magnetismo que envuelva a nuestra querida La Tierra y de la defensa que nos provee contra los rayos ultravioleta de El Sol. Ellos estudiarán un proceso llamada : Reconexión Magnética.
Artist concept of MMS, a mission to study how
magnetic fields release energy in a process known as magnetic reconnection. MMS
consists of four identical observatories that will fly in a tight formation and
provide the first three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection.

NASA will hold a media briefing at 1 p.m. EST Wednesday, Feb. 25, to discuss
an upcoming mission to study magnetic reconnection around Earth, a fundamental
process throughout the universe where magnetic fields connect and disconnect
explosively releasing energy.
The briefing, held at NASA Headquarters, 300 E St. SW in Washington, will be
broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's website.
Called the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, the project will help
scientists understand the process of magnetic reconnection, which can accelerate
particles up to nearly the speed of light. By studying reconnection near Earth,
MMS will help scientists understand reconnection in the atmosphere of the sun
and other stars, in the vicinity of black holes and neutron stars, and at the
boundary between our solar system’s heliosphere and interstellar space.
The mission consists of four identical spacecraft that will provide the first
three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection. Launch is scheduled for 10:44
p.m. March 12, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
The briefing participants are:
- Jeff Newmark, interim director, Heliophysics Division, NASA Headquarters in Washington
- Jim Burch, principal investigator, MMS Instrument Suite, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio
- Craig Tooley, MMS Project Manager, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland
- Paul Cassak, associate professor, West Virginia University, Morgantown
Media who want to participate by phone must send an email providing their
name, affiliation and telephone number to dwayne.c.brown@nasa.gov by noon
Wednesday.
Media and the public also may ask questions during the briefing on Twitter
using the hashtag #askNASA.
