"Issue of Resurrection on year 2012 make worried"
On the internet at this time are any posts that discuss the plateau predicted Maya tribes who once lived in southern Mexico or Guatemala on the Day of Resurrection will occur on 21 December 2012.
In the manuscripts known ethnic heritage astronomy and the calendar system is, on the date mentioned above will appear galaxy waves so big that lead to interruption of all activities in the face of this Earth.Outside the prediction Maya tribe that has not known the basic calculations, according to Deputy Director General for Science and Information Pengkajian Kedirgantaraan, Aviation Institute and the Space National (LAPAN), Bambang S Tedjasukmana, phenomena that can be estimated to appear around the year 2011-2012 is sun storms. Prediction is based on the monitoring center monitors the weather in outer space some countries since the 1960s, and by eight in Indonesia since 1975.
Described, Sri Kaloka, Head of The Center for Science Antariksa eight, storms occur when Sun appears Flare and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Flare is a big explosion in the atmosphere of the Sun charged equivalent to 66 million Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion. The CME is a very big explosion that caused hurl particles speed 400 kilometers per second.
Sun weather disturbances can affect the condition of cargo to the outer magnet Earth, further impact on the electricity system, transportation, relying on the satellite navigation global positioning system (GPS) and communication systems that use satellite communications and high frequency waves (HF), and may be dangerous to life or human health. "Because the Earth magnet interference, pacemaker users can experience interference, which means," said Sri.
Step anticipation
From the Sun, billions of particles to the electron layer ionosfer Earth in four days time, it is clear Jiyo Harjosuwito, Head of Group Research Ionosfer and Propagasi Radio Waves. The impact of the electron charge particles in the Earth polar magnet held for several days. During that time antisipatif step can be done to reduce the impact caused.
Anticipate the emergence of the outer waves, go Bambang, eight middle of the central system to monitor the weather in outer space integrated Science Center Utilization Antariksa eight Bandung. Object monitored, among other layers ionosfer and geomagnetik, and radio waves. This system will be fully operational in January 2009 to come.
Antisipatif steps which have been made to contact the eight parties that may be affected by the storm's outer appearance, the Dephankam, TNI, Dephub, PLN, and Depkominfo, and local governments. Currently training for local government officials who operate the HF radio has been made since long, now there are about 500 people trained in the radio signal interference.
Bambang urges PLN to take steps antisipatif do with the extinction of the electricity system that does not happen that impact worse. Therefore, socialization should be done in the community when it steps will be taken.
In addition, flights and cruises that rely on GPS satellite navigation system as the system should use the manual when the storm occurred outer space, living in the guide base or landing aircraft.
Electron density changes due to weather outer, clear eight researchers from the PPSA, Effendi, can change the speed of radio waves when passing through ionosfer giving rise delai propagasi on the GPS signal.
These changes lead to distortions in the determination of the distance and position. In addition, components mikroelektronika on satellite navigation and communications will be damaged, so that the acceleration of the life, so that it can not work anymore.
Currently, eight have developed modeling for planning the use of the frequency interference to HF radio communications. "When this center is modeling the same field for navigation," said Bambang.
