Things calmed down quite a bit with our Geomagnetics today after yesterday’s periodic Geomagnetic Storming ended around 5.00p CDT last night. Today we averaged HP = 1.0. We should see similar Geomagnetics tomorrow and early 8/11 before the next round of CME plasma and CH […]
An extremely slow-moving solar storm is passing over Earth today and I’ve been waiting to see if it might become newsworthy. It has taken a while, but Earth is finally responding in a promising way. In the last hour or so AE has begun to […]
It looks like the slow, thin 8/3 CME arrived yesterday, and was so slow and thin it had little impact on our HP Index, only raising it from HP = 0.6 to HP = 2.0. It also took until today to raise our Solar Wind […]
We had calm space weather today across all features we monitor. NOAA’s anticipating similar conditions for the next 3 days, with the exception of a possible brief period of Geomagnetic Storms 8/7 afternoon CDT. They’re currently providing a 15% chance of HP = 5 (G1) […]
The CME that arrived yesterday was really slow-moving, barely taking us above 400 km/sec, and it began losing strength around 8/3 @ 10.00a CDT when our Solar Wind Speed dropped to ~360 km/sec. It looks like Solar Wind Speed is supposed to stay comfortable for […]
I know most of y’all probably already know we had a CME come through today! . It came in 2 steps, the first around 8/2 @ 6.26a CDT, taking our Solar Wind Speed from ~290 km/sec to 350 km/sec and taking our HP Index from […]
The geomagnetic field reached G2 (Moderate) storm levels at 02/1759 UTC, following the arrival of a CME. Additional G2 storm periods are expected through 02/2359 UTC, with G1 (Minor) storming expected to continue into the early hours (UTC) of 03 Aug. NOAA NWS Space Weather […]
SOMETHING JUST SLAMMED INTO EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD Something powerful from the Sun has just reached Earth… and now our planet’s magnetic shield is responding. A coronal mass ejection (CME) arrived earlier today, sending a surge of solar energy into Earth’s magnetic field. The next several […]
