This is a movie where Man was sent to outer space, om a special mission to reignite our dying sun....

Fifty years from now, the sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star.

But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. There is an accident, a fatal mistake, and a distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier. Soon the crew is fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity.

Blog Master: This is a space adventure movie...but it turns out to be a horror film at the end of the show where there is a "monster" among the crews moving around killing . Kids do not watch this film alone. We post this trailer as there are scenes where it show the miracle effect of Approaching Sun ...very HOT indeed ....

Cosmic Journeys: Attack of the Sun

(Miracle :Sun Approaching)


Documentary

Massive solar eruptions could threaten our high-tech society.

The year was 2003... with Halloween approaching...

93 million miles away... an angry sun began to vent its rage.

Dark regions, called sunspots, appeared unexpectedly on its surface... a sign of rising tension within.

It had been three and a half years since the sun last erupted in fury...

...at the peak of an 11-year cycle of solar flare-ups.

Back then, we got ready for it... by shutting down satellites that were vulnerable to high levels of radiation.

But no one expected this.

In what should have been a low point in solar activity, the sun erupted in a series of massive explosions, called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs.

Electrified gas clouds weighing billions of tons raced outward.

Solar telescopes recorded the action...

The largest emission of solar x-rays ever seen.

The hottest flares, at tens of millions of degrees...

And the fastest... reaching speeds clocked at six million miles per hour.

The sun became a giant plasma weapon... more potent than any in science fiction... and pointed right at our home planet.

On Earth... the Halloween storms produced some of the most spectacular auroras ever seen at the north and south poles.

They also brought jolts of electricity that caused power outages in Sweden, and disrupted airline navigation.

In space, these storms damaged 28 communications satellites, and destroyed two. And they didn't stop there.

As the energetic surge swept past Mars, it was so strong it burned out the radiation monitor aboard the spacecraft, Mars Global Surveyor. Ironically, this instrument was designed to study radiation that human explorers might encounter on future missions beyond Earth.

Months later, the rush of solar energy washed over the two Voyager spacecraft, on their way to the far reaches of the solar system.

CMEs like these have been known to blast their way out the far edges of the solar system, where the solar wind meets the flow of gas around the galaxy itself.

This stormy season on the sun lasted about five weeks. It was by no means the worst.

A solar eruption in 1859 was so powerful it set fire to telegraph offices... several people got nasty electric shocks, simply because they were working with metal objects... and for the next few nights, auroras were reportedly bright enough to read by.

A similar storm today could easily cause more than two trillion dollars in damage to our high-tech infrastructure, twenty times greater than hurricane Katrina.

But believe it or not, the threat is about to get even worse.

We are beginning to change the way we acquire and use energy... by expanding our power grid to accommodate wind farms...solar arrays... new nuclear plants ... and other renewable energy sources.

This grid will get larger... and smarter.... With microprocessors in most every device...communicating and negotiating with one another... running everything from air conditioners to power plants.

A sudden surge of solar activity could strike the grid directly...inflicting a substantial amount of damage on the emerging smart power economy.

To understand what a powerful force the sun can be...

Take a look at Venus. At almost exactly the same size and mass as Earth, it's truly our sister planet.

The thinking is that long ago, fierce solar winds stripped off lighter water molecules from its upper atmosphere. What was left was a witches' brew of acidic gases and carbon dioxide that thickened at lower altitudes, rising to some 90 times the density of Earth's atmosphere.

At a concentration of 95% in Venus' atmosphere, CO2 gas trapped increasing amounts of sunlight and drove surface temperatures close to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit.

How did Earth avoid such a harsh fate?

One of the main reasons is that our planet has what Venus lacks... a natural defense against solar attacks.

Blog Master: Wow...so many AK machine there !

Hold on to your AK rare card or Sell for $ now ??

"Hi, Not sure whether is it a good advice for you or not, but it seem that the price for SOL card is coming down and not up. What had Japan Market got to do with it, unless you are going to sell it there. If that is the case sell there fast when price is good.

I only believe it when money is in my hand, it is just like stock market. A stock may be making a lot of money, it only when you sell them at the right time. You can hold as long as you want it will not realised the real value until you exchange it with real money.

It could be they want you to sell slow so they can get rid of the card before you, so who is the smart one?
It all depend on what you want, to sell or to hold is all up to you. Only believe the value when you get money in your hand. Take care."
