Space station solar array

Each ISS solar array wing (often abbreviated "SAW") consists of two retractable "blankets" of solar cells with a mast between them. Each wing is the largest ever deployed in space, weighing over 2,400 pounds and using nearly 33,000 solar arrays, each measuring 8-cm square with 4,100 diodes. When fully extended, each is 35 metres (115 ft) in length and 12 metres (39 ft) wide. Each SAW is ca.

How the solar system was created

The nebular hypothesis says that the Solar System formed from the of a fragment of a giant , most likely at the edge of a . The cloud was about 20 (pc), or approximately 65 (ly) across, while the fragments were roughly 1 pc (~3.26 ly) across. The further collapse of the fragments led to the formation of dense cores 0.01–.
