Astronauts restore full power to International Space Station (+video)

Posted on by

Cape Canaveral, Fla. Spacewalking astronauts replaced a failed electrical unit at the International Space Station on Wednesday, restoring full power to the orbiting lab.

The space station had been operating since spring with only seven of its eight solar-power channels. Wednesday's work by Reid Wiseman and Butch Wilmore NASA's second spacewalk in two weeks brought the energy capability back up to 100 percent.

The spacewalkers encountered balky bolts but still managed to complete the job in the allotted time, with less than two minutes to spare.

"Yoo-hoo!" they cheered as NASA declared victory.

The voltage regulator shorted out in May but could not be replaced until now because of a yearlong hiatus in nonemergency spacewalks by NASA. The stoppage was caused by spacesuit problems, most notably a flooded helmet that nearly cost an astronaut's life in 2013.

Wiseman took part in the Oct. 7 spacewalk that jump-started NASA's outside maintenance, accompanied by a German. This time, Wiseman was joined by Wilmore, who made his first spacewalk.

To avoid an electrical shock, the two spacewalkers waited until darkness before attempting to remove the old voltage regulator, so there would be no discharge. They took in the view 260 miles below as they waited for the space station to fly into the night side of Earth.

"I see Cairo!" Wiseman said. "Can't quite make out the pyramids, though."

Sunset came over Kazakhstan and China, and Wiseman began to undo the bolt holding down the bad regulator. His pistol grip tool failed to loosen the bolt. "I can feel it binding up," he said. A ratchet wrench along with some muscle did the trick.

Wiseman removed the 330-pound boxy regulator from its slot and, with Wilmore's help, popped in the new one. But once again, they ran into bolt trouble, this time in securing the new device.

NASA picture of a jack-o-lantern sun is no Halloween trick

Posted on by

An image, taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014, captured the sun getting into the Halloween spirit. "Active regions on the sun combined to look something like a solar jack-o'-lantern's face," said Joe Witte of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

PASADENA, Calif. It wasnt a trick. But for space geeks, it sure was a treat.

An image, taken by NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory on Oct. 8, captured the sun getting into the Halloween spirit.

Active regions on the sun combined to look something like a solar jack-o-lanterns face, said Joe Witte of NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center.

Theres no cause for alarm its just the center of our solar systems spooky Halloween costume.

The active regions in this image appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy, Witte said. This image blends together two sets of extreme ultraviolet wavelengths.

And thats what gives the sun that freaky feel.

Acorn bumper crop turns heads in WNC

Posted on by

By GERALDINE H. DINKINS Times-News Correspondent

The staccato barrage of falling acorns has become the rhythm of nature's soundtrack anywhere within "firing distance" of a white or red oak since early September.

As trails and parking lots morph into marble runs and streets, streams and metal roofs act as amplifiers to nerve-startling torrents of acorns, longtime residents' talk has turned to predictions of a harsh winter or, at the very least, of a challenging hunting season in WNC.

Forest and wildlife officials discredit the future-telling powers of oaks, but they do agree that this fall's acorn production is well above average and will likely affect wildlife populations and hunting this fall and winter.

"It's pretty well a bumper crop and a good one even for a bumper crop year," said David Stewart, a land management biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. "Everyone is noticing it, I've heard it said in calls and seen it with my own two eyes."

Acorn bumper crops happen in three- to five-year cycles, Stewart said, based on scientific counts of marked trees's "mast fruiting" behavior a term used for hardwood trees' reproductive activities. Others who, like Stewart, spend a lot of time gazing up into forest canopies echo his opinion it's a bumper crop year all right, but it happens with some regularity. The reasons largely are not well understood.

"Mast fruiting is not happening due to any one contributing factor," said Brian Schneider, who holds a master's degree in forestry from the University of Maine and is an instructor in Haywood Community College's Forest Management Technology Program.

"We don't understand whether these oaks have some kind of sense that leads to this super-saturation of acorns," Schneider said. "What we know is that a lot of variables from weather to the overall health of the trees can produce these big acorn crops, but we don't understand it very well, because of the lag time."

In other words, while a late frost three years ago and a wet summer two years' past may contribute to an abundant acorn production, Schneider sees little evidence at least not in documented science that oak trees can predict the severity of the winter ahead and respond to it by throwing off acorns in massive numbers.

"Why we get this bumper crops every few years is largely a mystery," he said. "Personally, I don't put much stock in them being a predictor of anything."
