It’s been a quiet couple of days in space weather. While the CH HSS did arrive yesterday, it didn’t raise Solar Wind Speeds into the 400 km/sec range and didn’t raise the HP Index above HP = 3.3. Tomorrow’s expected to be similarly quiet, and […]
SUN TEARS OPEN AS MASSIVE FILAMENT ERUPTS Something changed on the Sun overnight. Early this morning, a massive filament lifted off and erupted into space. But that’s not the only thing grabbing our attention. An enormous dark structure is stretching across a huge portion of […]
We had another quiet day today, but that’s expected to change at any minute due to an incoming CH HSS that’s expected to take us into the 400 km/sec range with Solar Wind Speed, and it’s expected to cause brief Geomagnetic Storms. The brunt of […]
Today was a pretty calm in space weather. We got down below 400 km/sec this afternoon CDT, and everything else was within comfortable levels. We’ll have one more day of these conditions before the next CH HSS arrives mid-evening CDT on 8/14. Most forecasts indicate […]
Space weather calmed down today as the CME departed Earth. Our HP Index averaged HP = 1.0, and Solar Wind Speed stayed below 400 km/sec consistently beginning about noon CDT. We’ll have another day of calm across all features we follow before the new CH […]
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 […]
