Skywatch Media News for December the 5th 2019 at the farthest edge of the Earth's
polar regions something very strange and unexplained is taking place what's
happening near the poles in an area known as the cusp is having a profound
effect on modern technology including satellite connections GPS systems and
gadgets that use radio waves over the years we have heard many stories about
how our magnetic field is weakening allowing the magnetic north pole to
migrate away from Canada and towards the east at a rapid pace while at the same
time creating magnetic anomalies in the South Atlantic both occurrences of which
satellite data has shown to be accurate whether the weakening of the field will
result in a magnetic pole shift much sooner than anticipated
is still unknown but here is something we do know that may provide a glimpse
into what is presently occurring with the Earth's poles with each second that
passes one and a half million tons of solar particles shoot off of the Sun and
into space traveling at hundreds of miles per second this continual stream
of plasma is known as the solar wind which has pelted the earth since the
time of its creation because our planet has been gifted with a strong magnetic
field most of these harmful particles have
been deflected away with one exception that being the farthest reaches of the
poles those cusps or cleft shape formations at opposite ends of our world
within this region close to the Earth's poles the magnetic field becomes a
funnel where the solar wind can reach our atmosphere and this is where the
trouble exists this influx of particles disrupts the atmosphere causing satellite
GPS and radio signals to go haywire the recent disruptions has become such a
problem that NASA has initiated a series of missions into the northern polar
cusp hoping to improve the technology that has been affected by this strange
phenomenon they're calling this the Grand Challenge initiative so it seems
that the importance of this series of missions cannot be underestimated a
total of nine rockets each of them similar to space vehicles 65 feet in
height will be launched anywhere from 20 to 800 miles into the atmosphere to
record the sounds originating from this strange phenomenon located inside of the
polar cusps in particular they are looking at a patch of atmosphere that is
much denser than its surroundings back in the year 2004 scientists had
discovered that part of the atmosphere inside of the cusp was one
and a half times more dense than expected now the discovery is notable
because any pressure change associated with the increased mass density that is
occurring at 200 miles above the surface of the earth may not seem that alarming
but if this increase in density occurred at ground level it would have the
capability of creating a perpetual hurricane a hurricane much stronger than
anything ever recorded on the face of the earth therefore the polar phenomenon
has the capability of shaking up satellite trajectories while creating
problems for spacecraft that fly through this dense patch that is located in the
polar cusps the unusual patch of dense atmosphere needs to be thoroughly
investigated in order to evaluate its effectiveness on any satellites that
pass through its bounderies
it's not just spacecraft that react unpredictably near the cusp so does the
GPS and it's transmitted communication signals the atmospheric turbulence
brought on by this mysterious anomaly is a big concern for the mission
investigators because as the atmosphere grows turbulent the GPS and
communication signals passing close to the cusp become garbled therefore
sending unreliable signals to aircraft and ships that depend on these signals
for safe navigation therefore the integrity of GPS signals is of the
utmost importance in today's society the loss of such communications would be
inconceivable the launch of the Rockets from the extreme north provides a
pristine location for examining this phenomenon therefore the small Arctic
region of Svalbard on the Norwegian archipelago was chosen for this mission
due in part to its small population but also because of its strict use of radio
and Wi-Fi communications coincidentally Svalbard the chosen site for the
polar cusp mission is also known as the home of the global seed and
data preservation vaults the exact location of which is kept secret from
the general public when NASA launched their sounding rocket from Svalbard on
November the 26th as part of their Grand Challenge mission their hope was that
they could determine the cause of the cusps irregularities unfortunately for
them but most importantly for the world it was revealed that the mission did not
perform as planned and scientists are now left wondering what might have gone
wrong
the last mission in this current group of rocket launches is the investigation
into measuring the flow of plasma and gases within the cusps how they heat up
how they accelerate and how they interact with each other all of the
measuring and the collection of important data is meant to help
scientists better understand what is happening in our upper atmosphere but it
is also important that they understand what they may be dealing with and how
they may predict the behavior of the cusp in our future now it's
understandable at times to criticize scientists especially when their work
seems to be incomplete and inconclusive and this may explain why they planned a
series of rockets to explore the far reaches of the polar regions
if one mission fails another one may provide some of the crucial answers
necessary if we are going to avoid this serious interference that they now
say is happening with our lower orbit and our earth technology systems if we
can't trust our scientists for answers then who can we trust what's happening
to the polar cusp is no different than what is happening here on earth our
planet and our atmosphere are in the process of changing all we can do as
observers is to ask for knowledge and guidance so that we can better prepare
for the changes that we face this is the one gift that each of us inherits the
freedom of choice the one question that remains is whether we will choose wisely
or choose in haste over the years there is one great gift that has stood out
above all the others that I have received in my life's journey and that
is the gift to giving it is a gift each of us cherishes during this joyous
time of the year but we should also be mindful that the gift of giving is
something that should be part of our life throughout the year rather than
when it becomes convenient I learned that lesson long ago and it
has changed my life for the better my devotion lies with these video
productions primarily because it allows me to share my knowledge and my life's
experiences with each of you who have shown an interest in following this
channel in a way it is my gift to you and it has brought great pleasure and
satisfaction knowing that many of you have given through your generous
comments this is how each of us can come together this is how each of us can make
a difference in this complex and often troubling world service to others is a
great endeavor sometimes it can be challenging but often it is rewarding
and so I look forward to our time together making our moments a little
more meaningful and a little more substantive thanks for watching
