It is a large genus with over 1000 species and most have showy flower displays. It includes the plants known to gardeners as azaleas. It is the national flower of Nepal, the State flower of Sikkim, and the State Flower of both West Virginia and Washington in the USA.

The Rhododendron is a genus characterized by shrubs and small to (rarely) large trees, the smallest species growing to 10–100 cm tall, and the largest, R. giganteum, reported to over 30 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged; leaf size can range from 1–2 cm to over 50 cm, exceptionally 100 cm in R. sinogrande. They may be either evergreen or deciduous. In some species the underside of the leaves is covered with scales (lepidote) or hairs (indumentum). Some of the best known species are noted for their many clusters of large flowers. There are alpine species with small flowers and small leaves, and tropical species such as section Vireya that often grow as epiphytes.

NASA Spacecraft Sees Solar Flare

On August 1st, the sun emitted a C-class solar flare that spawned what scientists call a coronal mass ejection, or CME, headed toward Earth. The CME impacted Earth's magnetic field August 3rd. CMEs occasionally hit Earth. This CME will have few noticeable consequences beyond producing an aurorae.

The CME hit Earth's magnetic field on August 3rd at 1740 UT. The impact sparked a G2-class geomagnetic storm that lasted nearly 12 hours--time enough for auroras to spread all the way from Europe to North America. The possible arrival of a second CME on August 4th might provide even better spectacular auroral displays.

CMEs are large clouds of charged particles that are ejected from the sun over the course of several hours and can carry up to ten billion tons of plasma. They expand away from the sun at speeds as high as a million miles an hour. A CME can make the 93-million-mile journey to Earth in just two to four days. Stronger solar storms could cause adverse impacts to space-based assets and technological infrastructure on Earth.

The sun goes through a regular activity cycle about 11 years long. The last solar maximum occurred in 2001 and its recent extreme solar minimum was particularly weak and long lasting. These kinds of eruptions are one of the first signs that the sun is waking up and heading toward another solar maximum expected in the 2013 time frame.

In the adjoining cell we observe the statue of Buddha Sakyamuni, sitting on a throne and respectirely on the left and the right hand are the statue of Lokesvara (a small image of Amitaba in his crown) and Vajraponi (a Vajra weapon of Indra in his crown). Below the statue of Buddha Sakyamuni, we distinguish a cakra wheel between two deer. The handpose of the Buddha image is turning the wheel of the law of cause and effect.

Art Museum H. Widayat

H. Widayat’s concept of his own museum was expressed in a design by an architect Ir. H. Edji Sukedji who knew during the pilgrimage. The museum’s building was on a land of about 5000 m2 consisting of two floors approximately as large as about 2500 m2. With the beam from the sun lights breaking through the glass walls, it consists of 1st FLOOR EXHIBITION ROOM to display the works of H. Widayat in various media, while the 2nd FLOOR EXHIBITION ROOM is used to display other artists’ works which are the museum’s collection.

In it’s early development, H. Widayat also built a dwelling which is also his studio and guest houses for his guests to stay. The museum was to exhibit the selected fine artworks by late H. Widayat and board of curators to become a permanent collection and to be enjoyed by art lovers and people at large.

The development of the museum was done in 1994 ang officially opened on April 30th 1994 by minister of education and culture, Prof. DR. Ing. Wardiman Djojonegoro.

Ilmuwan NASA Peringatkan Tsunami Surya Akan Menghantam Bumi

Selasa, 03 Agustus 2010 | 05:59 WIB

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta - Bumi bisa terkena gelombang cuaca ruang angkasa pada hari Selasa menyusul sebuah ledakan besar matahari, menurut para ilmuwan.
Kembang api matahari di akhir pekan telah dicatat oleh beberapa satelit, termasuk Solar Dynamics Observatory NASA yang menyaksikan riak gelombang kejut yang keluar.
Para astronom dari seluruh dunia menyaksikan suar besar di atas sunspot raksasa seukuran Bumi, yang terkait dengan letusan lebih besar di permukaan matahari.
Ledakan ini bertujuan langsung menuju Bumi, yang kemudian mengirimkan tsunami matahari sejauh 93 juta mil melintasi ruang.
Gambar dari SDO menunjuk pada gelombang kejut yang berjalan dari suar ke angkasa, New Scientist melaporkan.
Para ahli mengatakan gelombang gas penuh tenaga kemungkinan mencapai Bumi pada hari Selasa, ketika akan berjuang menembus perisai magnetik alam yang melindungi Bumi.
Hal ini kemungkinan memicu tampilan spektakuler dari aurora atau cahaya utara dan selatan.
Para ilmuwan telah memperingatkan bahwa letusan matahari yang sangat besar bisa menghancurkan satelit dan merusak jaringan energi dan komunikasi di seluruh dunia jika itu terjadi hari ini.
NASA baru-baru ini memperingatkan bahwa Inggris bisa menghadapi pemadaman listrik yang luas dan tanpa sinyal komunikasi untuk jangka waktu yang lama, setelah bumi terkena badai ruang angkasa.
The Daily Telegraph mengungkapkan pada bulan Juni bahwa ilmuwan senior badan antariksa itu percaya bumi akan terpukul oleh energi magnetik jilatan api matahari dengan tingkat yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya setelah Matahari bangun dari sebuah tidur panjang sekitar tahun 2013.
