The Sun has many unseen impacts on our daily lives and the ever increasing technology that surrounds us. Did you know that the GPS systems in your car can be disrupted by solar radiation??? It's true!
While an interrupted GPS signal might not be a big deal if you are a Domino's driver, it is a BIG DEAL when the GPS is used to keep an offshore oil rig stationary to within a few millimeters!
Corporations around the world have been asking NASA for a more accurate prediction of solar activity. To meet this request, NASA launched two spacecraft to take 3-D pictures of the sun. 3-D??? That's CRAZY!
The STEREO spacecraft were launched October 25, 2006. The two spacecraft are now orbiting the sun, one slightly ahead of Earth and one slightly behind, separated from each other by approximately 45 degrees.
Just as the slight offset between a person's eyes provides depth perception, the separation of the spacecraft allow 3-D images of the sun - and better solar forecasting!
The next time your pizza is late, don't be too quick to blame the driver - think of The Sun...now in 3-D! Have fun!!!
