Cool Movie: SDO Destroys a Sundog |
|
February 18, 2010: Last week, on Feb. 11th, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) lifted off from Cape Canaveral on a five-year mission to study the sun. Researchers have called the advanced spacecraft the "crown jewel" of NASA's heliophysics fleet. SDO will beam back IMAX-quality images of solar explosions and peer beneath the stellar surface to see the sun's magnetic dynamo in action.

Solar Dynamics Observatory: The 'Variable Sun' Mission |
|
February 5, 2010: For some years now, an unorthodox idea has been gaining favor among astronomers. It contradicts old teachings and unsettles thoughtful observers, especially climatologists. "The sun," explains Lika Guhathakurta of NASA headquarters in Washington DC, "is a variable star."

Gerhana Matahari Separa dari Langkawi |
|
15 Januari 2010, lebih kurang 1,000 orang ramai telah berkumpul di kawasan tempat letak kereta Kompleks Pekan Rabu, Langkawi bagi menyaksikan gerhana Matahari separa yang bermula pada jam 2:50 petang hingga 5:50 petang. Selain kakitangan dari Observatori Negara Langkawi, program ini turut dijayakan dengan kerjasama daripada 2 orang kakitangan Plantarium Negara dan moderator Falak Online. 
Cuaca cerah sejak tengahari membolehkan orang ramai membuat pencerapan menggunakan 5 buah teleskop yang telah disediakan yang mana 2 buah teleskop digunakan untuk pencerapan umum, sebuah teleskop disambungkan dengan display monitor untuk paparan video gerhana Matahari secara langsung, sebuah teleskop Coronado untuk astrofotografi dan sebuah lagi teleskop digunakan untuk menangkap imej gerhana Matahari setiap minit.  
 
Imej Gerhana Matahari Separa yang telah ditangkap menggunakan
teleskop Coronado dan kelihatan jelas sunspot 1040.

'RS is commonly used in Malaysia' |
|
The Malaysian National Space Agency (ANGKASA) is responsible in leading and observing the development of space science in Malaysia by providing leadership in educational aspect and research of space science and by assisting the government in formulating and executing national space fundamentals. GIS Development spoke to Dr Mustafa Din Subari to know more... 
Dr Mustafa Din Subari
Director General, National Space Agency (ANGKASA) What is the mandate of ANGKASA?
National Space Agency is responsible for the development of the space infrastructure of Malaysia. At the moment, we are operating RazakSAT, Malaysia's first remote sensing satellite, the imagery of which will be distributed through Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency. We are planning to develop a space based agumentation system in the near future for navigational purposes. How is the uptake of geospatial technology in Malaysia?
We have been using satellite imagery since 1970s. Remote sensing is one technology which is commonly being used by almost every government agency and is used even at the level of municipalities. In that sense, I can say that almost all agencies and departments in Malaysia are using remote sensing and GIS. What are the future plans after Razaksat?
RazakSAT-1 has a life of three years. With regard to RazakSat-1, I must highlight that we have strategically placed it in a special orbit so that it image Malaysia more frequently and serves us rather than serving the entire globe. We believe that this orbit placement would serve us in the future as well. To ensure continuity of imagery to our users, we will continue development of RazakSAT series of optical sensors. We have received requests for provision of high resolution data. Availability of such high resolution data will open up many opportunities for people but Malaysia is a small country with limited resources. We can't have the luxury of too many satellites.
