00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:06,950
my name is angelus vulidas and i'm the

2
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:08,720
project scientist for the shaky

3
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,280
instrument suite on stereo a coronal

4
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:13,440
mass ejection is an explosion of the

5
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,040
sun's atmosphere that propagates in

6
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:17,279
space in the form of a cloud

7
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:19,439
they can really disrupt satellite

8
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:22,400
communications they can affect gps

9
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:25,119
signals or cell phones and even cause

10
00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:27,840
electricity disruptions

11
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:30,560
so the stereo satellites

12
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:33,200
is a mission specifically to study the

13
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:34,800
quantum mass ejections using two

14
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,640
identical spacecraft so we can

15
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:38,640
reconstruct the three-dimensional

16
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,280
structure of these clouds the use of a

17
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:43,840
single spacecraft is similar to seeing

18
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:46,800
the wall with one eye you suddenly lack

19
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:49,200
perception of depth and we never know if

20
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:50,879
the object for example is coming towards

21
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,079
us going away from us by injecting the

22
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,960
second viewpoint then suddenly you run

23
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:58,800
out of solutions and you you have a very

24
00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:01,280
limited number of models to choose from

25
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:04,879
so this uh the shape of cme seems to to

26
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:07,920
be similar to a french croissant only

27
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:10,320
instead of be comprised of

28
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:12,080
pastries comprised of magnetic field

29
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:13,119
lines

30
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:14,960
we basically have moved

31
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,640
halfway towards

32
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:19,040
the solving solving the problem at least

33
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:20,320
in a practical

34
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,360
manner by modeling and getting a ground

35
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:25,439
truth on the shape and the energy on the

36
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:28,320
cme can make better predictions of when
