    Default EVE MEGS-A and SAM have been Turned Off

    I am very sad to say that SDO has decided to turn off EVE MEGS-A and EVE SAM. The EVE MEGS-A/SAM instrument has had a failure in the CCD electronics. The EVE team is looking at ways to start them again, but we do not have a date for restarting the instruments.
    The discovery of late-phase flares depended on the linking of MEGS-A spectra and AIA images. The SAM images were made by a pinhole camera, but had a remarkable accuracy in determining the location of flares.
    MEGS-B, MEGS-P, and ESP are working as designed.
    This letter from Tom Woods, the EVE PI, was sent out yesterday.
    Hi EVE team,
    We're sad to report that EVE MEGS-A / SAM data stream has ended on Monday May 26, 2014 due to a power anomaly for MEGS-A CCD electronics. With the SAM images being from MEGS-A CCD, both SAM solar X-ray images and MEGS-A spectra (6-37 nm) are not available now. The MEGS-A and SAM data from May 1, 2010 to May 26, 2014 will remain available from the EVE web site ( http://lasp.colorado.edu/home/eve/ ).
    All the other EVE instruments are working well, ESP, MEGS-B, and MEGS-P. We¹ll be working with the EVE science team to optimize the EVE observations with those instruments.

    Just before mid-June when Nibiru will be visible w/naked eye. The people still asleep will panic, and run for the nearest observatory for confirmation.

    Nibiru??? Still comin from behind the Sun?? Draw a flat line on a piece of paper, (our Solar system) then draw another line, 40 to 45 degrees across that line, (the plane of Nibiru). NOW, please explain to me how Nibiru, could "ever", be comming from behind the Sun???

    Is this a good time to visit the ranch? I would surely love to do that

    Shocking to me they even announced this. Which makes me even MORE suspect of the motives behind this. Alot of times when other things break or go offline, they don't announce it. They just remain off line for weeks then bang, out of nowhere they come back up.

    What events are due to happen that we cannot observe carefully now?
