An annular solar eclipse, a rare astronomical phenomenon, can be observed in Southern California shortly following 9 a.m. on the 14th. Southern California will see the sun shaped like a crescent moon rather than a ring of fire. [ABC7 뉴스]

A solar eclipse, an astronomical phenomenon in which the moon blocks the sun, will take place on the morning of Saturday the 14th. This solar eclipse is an annular solar eclipse, also known as the ‘ring of fire.’ This refers to the phenomenon where the moon is positioned in a straight line between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun. At this time, the part where the moon blocks the sun remains black and round, and the part around the sun that the moon does not cover sparkles in the shape of a gold ring. However, astronomers expect that in the Los Angeles area, a partial solar eclipse will be observed, with the sun shaped like a crescent moon rather than a ring of fire. The solar eclipse will begin around 8 a.m. on this day, but it is expected to be visible from just following 9 a.m. in California. It is predicted that the moon will cover regarding 70% of the sun. This type of solar eclipse phenomenon is not scheduled to return until 2046. This solar eclipse will follow a path starting in Texas and ending in Oregon and is expected to last approximately three hours. There are two types of solar eclipses: a total solar eclipse, in which the moon completely blocks the sun, a partial solar eclipse, in which only part of the sun is covered, and an annular solar eclipse, in which the moon is located in the center of the sun, but cannot completely block it, leaving light around it, as in this case. A double annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon’s orbit covering the sun is furthest from the Earth. Therefore, it is not seen often, and the last time an annular solar eclipse occurred in the continental United States was in 2012. To observe a solar eclipse, you must follow some precautions. You should not look at the sun directly with the naked eye because you expect the sky to be dark. In particular, staring at the sun for a long time to observe closely can cause serious damage to your eyes. Also, you should not wear sunglasses. It is recommended that you prepare and wear ‘eclipse glasses’. Another way to safely protect your eyes is to make a pinhole projector that allows you to see the eclipse without looking at the sun directly, or to observe it through colored cellophane.

NASA has offered a first glimpse of the sampling carried out by OSIRIS-REx, illustrating the US space agency’s first successful mission to collect a rocky asteroid fragment.

The sample, a space rock mass weighing between 100 and 250 grams, comes from the surface of the asteroid Bennu. It contains water and carbon, as revealed during a press conference at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston ( Houston is a city in Texas in the southern United States. With a population of more than…), Wednesday October 11. It was only two weeks following returning to Earth at a speed of nearly 43,000 km/h, on September 24, that NASA unveiled this sample. After a journey (Before designating a journey (pleasant or not, short or long, by sea or not, effective or…) of seven years and 6.4 million kilometers (The meter (symbol m, from the Greek metron, measurement) is the basic unit of length of the System…), the capsule, equipped with its parachute, landed safely in the desert of Utah before being sent to the Johnson Space Center for analysis.

The asteroid Bennu, known to be potentially dangerous, has a one in 2,700 chance of hitting the Earth in 2182. However, scientists’ interest is focused more on the possible extraterrestrial precursors of life on Earth locked in this asteroid.

“This is the largest carbon-rich asteroid sample ever returned to Earth,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said at the conference. “Carbon and water are the elements we were hoping to find. They are essential to the formation of our planet and will help us to understand the origin of the elements conducive to life.”

The quest for the origins of water and life on Earth might be illuminated by the analysis of such samples. The building blocks of life might have been brought to Earth by asteroids similar to Bennu, a carbon-rich B-type asteroid.

Compounds such as uracil, the basis of RNA, discovered on the asteroid Ryugu by the space agency’s Hayabusa2 mission (A space agency is a state body whose aim is to study Space and develop …) Japanese in 2020, are promising clues. OSIRIS-REx scientists hope to discover other potential precursors of terrestrial biology in the Bennu sample.

Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator of OSIRIS-REx, sees in the sample from Bennu a “time capsule” allowing us to explore the origins of our Solar System. “With each revelation of Bennu, we come closer to deciphering the mysteries of our cosmic heritage,” he emphasized.

The sampling was an arduous task, requiring nearly two years of searching for a landing site on the rugged surface of Bennu. The successful operation, OSIRIS-REx left Bennu for Earth in May 2021, marking a major step forward in the quest to understand our universe (The Universe is the set of everything that exists and the laws that govern it). govern.).
