Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A researcher from the Institute of Aviation and Space Agency said the phenomenon of increased solar activity which, according to Mayan prophecy occurred in 2012 not to worry much less connected with the Day of Resurrection.
Researchers in astronomy and astrophysicist Institute of Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) recently confirmed as a research professor Dr. Thomas Djamaluddin Indonesia MSc, Wednesday, said there was nothing special about natural phenomena that since 2012 only 11-year cycle of increased solar activity.
"The phenomenon of the horrendous 2012 more people began with Mayan prophecies, not from scientific reasons. If then there is a scientific reason for the phenomenon of what in 2012? But it is more precisely expressed not science," Thomas said after confirmed as a research professor at the office Lapan Jakarta.
According to Thomas, the phenomenon of peak solar activity previously estimated to occur in 2011, but its minimum point shifts so that estimated to occur in 2012. However, even now there is another shift that probably occurred in 2013.
Naturally, firm Thomas, nothing special because it is a 11-year cycle. "The last occurred in 1989 and then in 2000, and later in 2012 or 2013 will happen again."
People then worry about solar storms, but there will be no dahyat solar storms that cause severe impacts.
Solar storms on the Earth is essentially a phenomenon that often occurs not only when the sun reaches the peak of activity, but when the activity began to rise to fall again remained solar storms.
That means it happened more frequency at the peak. However, according to Thomas, the greatest strength is not necessarily at the top. Often the most powerful precisely after the peak.
"Tell me what happened next summit in 2000, but solar activity is greatest, the most powerful exactly happened in 2003," he said.
The discussion of this phenomenon of solar activity is also growing, which is then connected again with as if there will be a comet collision.
"It's also no evidence of astronomy. There is no information or estimates there will be a large comet that hit Earth in 2012. Then there was more to the planet Nibiru estimate, when the planet Nibiru is not known in astronomy," explains Thomas.
Various discussions of the phenomenon of 2012, as if based on the theory of astronomy there asteroit will hit the earth, have absolutely no basis or no astronomical reason.
"So, basically, more of 2012 concerns related to the interpretation of Mayan prophecy, and by the chairman of the Maya themselves have stated that 2012 was not final and it was the turn of the common calendar items," he said.
According to Thomas, the impact of solar storms generated by solar particles and sparks causing the magnetic field so far only affects the existence of satellites in orbit and the electrical transformer network facilities.
Solar storms can cause an induction into the electrical network facilities, causing overload and can cause transformers to explode or burn.
Space Trash
Scientific speech at the inaugural joint research Professor Ir Dr Latif Chunaeni MSc, Thomas also stated that the Indonesian territory through which the equator vulnerable long enough to place the falling space junk is now more and more.
"Waste of space more and more. The network system monitored by international observers there are about 13 thousand more and threats to disrupt the active satellites. And one of them ever, space junk crashed into former Russian satellites active satellites because the more satellites in space the greater the possibility of collision , "he said.
Indonesia is located on the equator are more likely to hit by space junk fall risk than other areas. Therefore, Indonesia must always be on alert for the frequently traveled area satellite orbit.
It should be a concern Lapan in providing information services falling objects hazard potential of space so the possibility that things can dinetraliskan undesirable, so Thomas Djamaluddin.
Along with Thomas, researchers Lapan Ir Dr Latif Msc Chunaeni also confirmed as a research professor in the field of Opto Electronics and Laser Applications. In his oration he more closely the content and effects of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) and the utilization of LPN instumensi Satklim-1A for research that will benefit aviation, and the study of global warming.
