Mount Everest Star Trails

Explanation: The highest peak on planet Earth is framed in this mountain and night skyscape. On September 30, the digital stack of 240 sequential exposures made with a camera fixed to a tripod at an Everest Base Camp captured the sheer north face of the Himalayan mountain and foreground illuminated by bright moonlight. Taken over 1.5 hours, the sequence also recorded colorful star trails. Reflecting the planet’s daily rotation on its axis, their motion is along gentle concentric arcs centered on the south celestial pole, a point well below the rugged horizon. The color of the trails actually indicates the temperatures of the stars. Blueish hues are from hotter stars, and yellow to reddish hues are from stars cooler than the Sun.

Meteor Activity Outlook for December 1-7, 2018
(Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, ƒ/2.8, 16mm, 25s, ISO6400)
The estimated total hourly meteor rates for evening observers this week is near 4 asDuring this period the moon will reach its new phase on Friday December 7th. At this time the moon will be located near the sun and will be invisible at night. This weekend the waning crescent moon will rise during the early morning hours but successful meteor observing is still possible by simply keeping the moon out of your field of view. seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 3 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S). For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 25 as seen from mid-northern latitudes and 20 from the southern tropics. The actual rates will also depend on factors such as personal light and motion perception, local weather conditions, alertness and experience in watching meteor activity. Morning rates are slightly reduced during this period due to moonlight. Note that the hourly rates listed below are estimates as viewed from dark sky sites away from urban light sources. Observers viewing from urban areas will see less activity as only the brighter meteors will be visible from such locations.
The radiant (the area of the sky where meteors appear to shoot from) positions and rates listed below are exact for Saturday night/Sunday morning December 1/2. These positions do not change greatly day to day so the listed coordinates may be used during this entire period. Most star atlases (available at science stores and planetariums) will provide maps with grid lines of the celestial coordinates so that you may find out exactly where these positions are located in the sky. A planisphere or computer planetarium program is also useful in showing the sky at any time of night on any date of the year. Activity from each radiant is best seen when it is positioned highest in the sky, either due north or south along the meridian, depending on your latitude. It must be remembered that meteor activity is rarely seen at the radiant position. Rather they shoot outwards from the radiant so it is best to center your field of view so that the radiant lies near the edge and not the center. Viewing there will allow you to easily trace the path of each meteor back to the radiant (if it is a shower member) or in another direction if it is a sporadic. Meteor activity is not seen from radiants that are located far below the horizon. The positions below are listed in a west to east manner in order of right ascension (celestial longitude). The positions listed first are located further west therefore are accessible earlier in the night while those listed further down the list rise later in the night.
These sources of meteoric activity are expected to be active this week.
The December Phoenicids (PHO) are a periodic shower that rarely produces noticeable activity. The only impressive display produced so far by this shower occurred in 1956 when ZHR’s were near 100. These meteors at active from December 4-6 with a peak on December 5th. The radiant at maximum is located at 01:02 (016) -45. This position lies in central Phoenix, just north of the 3rd magnitude star known as beta Phoenicis. For those viewing from the northern tropics southward, this position also lies 10 degrees northwest of the bright 1st magnitude star known as Achernar (alpha Eridani). This area of the sky is best placed as soon as evening twilight ends. These meteors are best seen from the southern hemisphere where the radiant lies much higher in the sky. For those viewing from the northern hemisphere, only those in the northern tropics have any real chance of seeing activity from this source. At only 12 km/sec. the Phoenicids produce extremely slow meteors.
The December phi Cassiopeiids (DPC) are the classical return of the Andromedids and the radiant that was active prior to the breakup of comet 3D/Biela in the 1840’s. This source is active from November 28 through December 10th. Maximum activity is expected to occur on December 6th when the Earth passes closest to particles released by 3D/Biela in 1649. The expected radiant is located at 01:36 (024) +50 on the night of maximum activity. This area of the sky is located just northwest of the 4th magnitude star known as Nembus (51 Andromedae). This position is also very close to the border with Cassiopeia and in some years the radiant lies in Cassiopeia, hence the name of phi Cassiopeiids. These meteors are best seen near 2100 (9pm) Local Standard Time (LST). Meteors from the December Phi Cassiopeiids strike the atmosphere at 17km/sec., which would produce meteors of very slow velocity. Expected rates would be low away from maximum. No one exactly what to expect at maximum. Rates could be strong but the meteors may be faint and difficult to see. Therefore those viewing from urban areas may see nothing at all. At only 17 km/sec. the December phi Cassiopeiids would also produce extremely slow meteors.
The Northern Taurids (NTA) are active from a large radiant located at 05:19 (080) +29. This area of the sky is located on the Taurus/Auriga border, 2 degrees west of the 2nd magnitude star known as El Nath (beta Tauri). This position is close to the Southern Taurids so great care must be taken in separating these meteors. You must have the two radiants near the center of your field of view to properly differentiate these sources. Current rates would be 2 per hour as seen from the northern hemisphere and 1 per hour as seen from south of the equator. These meteors may be seen all night long but the radiant is best placed near midnight local standard time (LST) when it lies on the meridian and is located highest in the sky. With an entry velocity of 28 km/sec., the average Northern Taurid meteor would be of slow velocity.
The Southern Taurids (STA) are active from a large radiant centered near 05:26 (082) +22. This position lies in eastern Taurus, 2 degrees west of the 3rd magnitude star known as Tianguan (zeta Tauri). These meteors may be seen all night long but the radiant is best placed near midnight LST when it lies on the meridian and is located highest in the sky. Rates at this time should be near 1 per hour regardless of your location. With an entry velocity of 27 km/sec., the average Southern Taurid meteor would be of slow velocity.
The Monocerotids (MON) are active from November 28th through December 27th with the peak activity occurring on December 13th. The radiant is currently located at 06:09 (092) +09. This position lies in northeastern Orion, 3 degrees northeast of the 1st magnitude orange star known as Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis). This position is only 7 degrees south of the radiant of the November Orionids so care must be take to distinguish between the two. Current rates should be less than 1 per hour no matter your location. Rates at maximum may reach 2 per hour. The Monocerotids are best seen near 0100 LST when the radiant lies highest above the horizon. At 41 km/sec. the Monocerotids produce mostly meteors of medium velocity.
The November Orionids (NOO) are active from a radiant located at 06:18 (094) +16. This area of the sky lies in northeastern Orion, 4 degrees west of the 2nd magnitude star known as Alhena (gamma Geminorum). This area of the sky is best placed in the sky near 0100 LST, when it lies highest above the horizon. This stream is active from November 7 through December 17, with maximum activity occurring on November 29. Rates should be near 3 per hour no matter your location. With an entry velocity of 43 km/sec., most activity from this radiant would be of medium speed.
The Geminids (GEM) are active from December 1-22, with peak activity occurring on December 14th. This weekend the radiant is located near 06:47 (102) +34. This position lies in northern Gemini, near the spot occupied by the 4th magnitude star known as Theta Geminorum. Rates this weekend should be less than 1 no matter your location. Hourly rates should increase to near 5 by the end of this period. At 34 km/sec. the Geminids produce mostly meteors of medium velocity.
The Puppid-Velids (PUP) are a vast complex of weak radiants located in the constellations of Puppis and Vela. Visual plots and photographic studies have revealed many radiants in this area during November and December. The combined strength of these radiants can produce a ZHR of 10. Actual hourly rates will be much less unless you happen to be observing from the deep Southern Hemisphere. Activity from this source begins around December 1st. The center of this activity is currently located at 08:00 (120) -45. This position lies on the Puppis/Vela border, 4 degrees northwest of the 2nd magnitude star known as gamma Velorum. Peak rates occur near December 7. These meteors are best seen near 0300 LST when the radiant lies highest above the horizon in a dark sky. Observers located in the Southern Hemisphere have an advantage viewing this shower as the radiant will rise higher into their sky allowing more activity to be seen. Since the radiant lies low in the south for most northern hemisphere observers, meteors seen from north of the equator tend to be long in length and long-lasting. At 40 km/sec. the Puppid-Velids produce meteors of average velocity.
The Sigma Hydrids (HYD) are active from November 24 through December 21, with maximum activity occurring on December 6. The radiant is currently located at 08:07 (121) +04 , which places it in extreme eastern Canis Minor, 5 degrees east of the brilliant zero magnitude star known as Procyon (alpha Canis Minoris). These meteors are best seen near 0400 LST when the radiant lies highest above the horizon. This source is the strongest in the sky for the first week of December. Hourly rates are expected to be near 4 per hour no matter your location. With an entry velocity of 62 km/sec., most activity from this radiant would be of swift speed.
The Psi Ursa Majorids (PSU) were discovered by observers in Japan using data from SonotaCo. This shower is active from December 2-10 with maximum activity occurring on December 5th. At maximum the radiant is located at 11:16 (169) +42. This position lies in central Ursa Major, 3 degrees southeast of the third magnitude star known as Psi Ursae Majoris. This area of the sky is best placed during the last hour before dawn, when it lies highest above the horizon in a dark sky. Current rates would most likely be less than one per hour and may reach 1 per hour at maximum. Observers south of the equator would see rates less than 1 per hour due to the lower radiant elevation. At 62km/sec., the average Psi Ursa Majorid meteor would be swift.
The December Kappa Draconids (DKD) are another shower discovered in Japan by observers using data from SonotaCo. This short-lived shower is only active from December 2-7 with maximum activity occurring on December 4th. On the night of maximum the radiant will be located at 12:29 (187) +70. This position lies in extreme western Draco, close to the faint star Kappa Draconis. While the radiant lies above the horizon all night for most of the northern hemisphere, it is best placed during the last hour before dawn, when it lies highest above the horizon in a dark sky. Rates could reach 2 per hour on the morning of the 3rd. Away from that morning I would expect hourly rates of less than 1. Due to the high northerly declination of the radiant these meteors are not visible from most of the southern hemisphere. At 41km/sec., the average December Kappa Draconid meteor would be of medium velocity.
The December Sigma Virginids (DSV) was discovered by John Greaves using the data of SonotaCo. IMO video cameras confirmed that this source is active during the month of December. Peak rates occur near December 14th. The current radiant location is at 12:40 (190) +10 which places it in northern Virgo close to the position occupied by the faint star known as Rho Virginis. Current hourly rates would be less than 1 shower member no matter you location. These meteors are best seen during the last dark hour before dawn, when the radiant lies highest above the horizon in a dark sky. At 68 km/sec. the December Sigma Virginids would produce mostly swift meteors.
The December Alpha Draconids (DAD) were discovered by the Japanese observers using data from SonotaCo and is active from November 30-December 15. They are predicted to peak on December 8th from a radiant located at 13:38 (205) +58. This position actually lies in northeastern Ursa Major, 4 degrees northeast of the second magnitude star known as Mizar (zeta Ursae Majoris). These meteors are best seen during the last dark hour before dawn, when the radiant lies highest above the horizon in a dark sky. This shower is not well seen from the southern hemisphere. Current rates would most likely be near 1 per hour as seen from the northern hemisphere. Observers south of the equator would see rates less than 1 per hour due to the lower radiant elevation.
As seen from the mid-northern hemisphere (45N) one would expect to see approximately 10 sporadic meteors per hour during the last hour before dawn as seen from rural observing sites. Evening rates would be near 3 per hour. As seen from the tropical southern latitudes (25S), morning rates would be near 7 per hour as seen from rural observing sites and 2 per hour during the evening hours. Locations between these two extremes would see activity between the listed figures. Morning rates are slightly reduced by moonlight during this period.
The list below offers the information from above in tabular form. Rates and positions are exact for Saturday night/Sunday morning except where noted in the shower descriptions.

Launching Rockets from the Top of the World 🚀
Over the next 14 months, our scientists will join a group of
international researchers to explore a special region — Earth’s northern polar
cusp, one of just two places on our planet where particles from the Sun have
direct access to our atmosphere.

Earth is surrounded by a giant magnetic bubble known as a magnetosphere,
which protects our planet from the hot, electrically charged stream of
particles from the Sun known as the solar wind. The northern and southern polar
cusps are two holes in this protection — here, Earth’s magnetic field lines
funnel the solar wind downwards, concentrating its energy before injecting it
into Earth’s atmosphere, where it mixes and collides with particles of Earthly
origin.

The cusp is the only place where dayside auroras
are found — a special version of northern and southern lights, visible when the
Sun is out and formed by a different process than the more familiar nighttime
aurora. That’s what makes this region so interesting for scientists to study: The
more we learn about auroras, the more we understand about the fundamental
processes that drive near-Earth space — including those processes that disrupt
our technology and endanger our astronauts.

The teams working on the Grand
Challenge Initiative — Cusp will fly sounding rockets from two
Norwegian rocket ranges that fall under the cusp for a short time each day. Sounding
rockets are sub-orbital rockets that shoot up into space for a few
minutes before falling back to Earth, giving them access to Earth’s atmosphere
between 30 and 800 miles above the surface. Cheaper and faster to develop than
large satellite missions, sounding rockets often carry the latest scientific
instruments on their first-ever flights, allowing for unmatched speed in the
turnaround from design to implementation.

Each sounding rocket mission will study a different aspect
of Earth’s upper atmosphere and its connection to the Sun and particles in
space. Here’s a look at the nine missions coming up.
1. VISIONS-2 (Visualizing
Ion Outflow via Neutral Atom Sensing-2) — December 2018
The cusp isn’t just the inroad into our atmosphere — it’s a
two-way street. Counteracting the influx of particles from the Sun is a process
called atmospheric escape, in which Earthly particles acquire enough energy to
escape into space. Of all
the particles that escape Earth’s atmosphere, there’s one that presents a
particular mystery: oxygen.
At 16 times the mass of hydrogen, oxygen should be too heavy
to escape Earth’s gravity. But scientists have found singly ionized oxygen in
near-Earth space, which suggests that it came from Earth. The two VISIONS-2 rockets,
led by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, will create
maps of the oxygen outflow in the cusp, tracking where these heavy ions are and
how they’re moving to provide a hint at how they escape.
2. TRICE-2 (Twin
Rockets to Investigate Cusp Electrodynamics 2) — December 2018
If the cusp is like a funnel, then magnetic reconnection is
what turns on the faucet. When the solar wind collides with Earth’s magnetic
field, magnetic reconnection breaks open the previously closed magnetic field
lines, allowing some solar wind particles to stream into Earth’s atmosphere
through the cusp.
But researchers have noticed that the stream of particles
coming in isn’t smooth: instead, it has abrupt breaks in it. Is magnetic
reconnection turning on and off? Or is the solar wind shooting in from
different locations? TRICE-2, led by the University of Iowa in Iowa City, will
fly two separate rockets through a single magnetic field line in the cusp, to
help distinguish these possibilities. If reconnection sputters on and off over
time, then the two rockets should get quite different measurements, like noting
how it feels to run your finger back and forth under a faucet that is being
turned on and off. If instead reconnection happens consistently in multiple
locations — like having ten different faucets, all running constantly — then the
two rockets should have similar measurements whenever they pass through the
same locations.

Magnetic reconnection is a process by which magnetic field
lines explosively realign
3. CAPER-2 (Cusp
Alfvén and Plasma Electrodynamics Rocket) — January 2019
The CAPER-2 rocket, led by Dartmouth College in Hanover, New
Hampshire, will examine how fast-moving electrons — particles that can trigger
aurora — get up to such high speeds. The team will zero in on the role that
Alfvén waves, a special kind of low-frequency wave that oscillates along
magnetic field lines, play in accelerating auroral electrons.

4. G-CHASER (Grand
Challenge Student Rocket) — January 2019
G-CHASER is made up entirely of student researchers from universities
in the United States, Norway and Japan, many of whom are flying their
experiments for the first time. The mission, led by the Colorado Space
Grant Consortium at the University of Colorado Boulder,
is a collaboration between seven different student-led missions,
providing a unique opportunity for students to design, test and ultimately fly
their experiment from start to finish. The students involved in the mission —
mostly undergraduates but including some graduate teams — are responsible for
all aspects of the mission, from developing the initial idea, to securing the
funding, to making sure it passes all the tests before flight.
5 & 6. AZURE (Auroral
Zone Upwelling Rocket Experiment) and CHI
(Cusp Heating Investigation) — April & November/December 2019
When the aurora shine, they don’t just emit light — they
also release thermal and kinetic energy into the atmosphere. Some of this
energy escapes back into space, but some of it stays with us. Which way this
balance tips depends, in part, on the winds in the cusp. AZURE, led by Clemson
University in South Carolina, will measure the vertical winds that swish energy
and particles around within the auroral oval, the larger ring around the pole
where the aurora are most common.
Later that year, the same team will launch the CHI mission, using a
methodology similar to AZURE to measure the flow of charged and neutral gases
inside the cusp. The goal is to better understand how particles, flowing in
horizontal and vertical directions, interact with each other to produce heating
and acceleration.
7. C-REX-2 (Cusp-Region
Experiment) — November 2019
The cusp is a place where strange physics happens, producing
some anomalies in the physical structure of the atmosphere that can make our
technology go haywire. For satellites that pass through the cusp, density
increases act like potholes, shaking up their orbits. Scientists don’t
currently understand what causes these density increases, but they have some
clues. C-REX-2, led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, aims to figure out
which variables — wind, temperature or ion velocity — are responsible.
8. ICI-5
(Investigation of Cusp Irregularities-5) — December 2019
Recent research has uncovered mysterious hot patches of
turbulent plasma inside the auroral region that rain energetic particles
towards Earth. GPS signals become garbled as they pass through these turbulent
plasma patches, affecting so many of today’s technologies that depend on them. ICI-5,
led by the University of Oslo, will launch into the cusp to take measurements
from inside these hot patches. To measure their structure as several scales,
the rocket will eject 12 daughter payloads in concentric squares which will
achieve a variety of different separations.

9. JAXA’s SS-520-3
mission — January 2020
Exploring the phenomenon of atmospheric escape, the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency’s SS-520-3 mission will fly 500 miles high over
the cusp to take measurements of the electrostatic waves that heat ions up and
get them moving fast enough to escape Earth.

– Some questions include: (a) what is the “deposit” on the west side of the crater, seeming to cover the wall/floor interface? (b) what is the floor material; did lava come up into this crater? The “deposit” might be taken by some to bear resemblance to materials sometimes interpreted as ice-related… but this is an equatorial crater. (Alt: 264 km, less than 5 km across.)
