And, as usual, it’s going to be overcast and rainy.
ARGH!!!!!!!!
Shut it down.
Shut it all down.
Hard.
Nip it in the bud.
A solar storm will sweep across the Earth Wednesday night,
*********
Hope its straw isn’t going to give Earth a
good scraping while is doing its sweeping.
OMG! Not the pigeon racing!
More importantly, will this effect The Master's, scheduled to start Thursday morning?
Oh, NO. Oh, NO.
another “coronal mass ejection”
Head Shake.
Haven’t been counting but this is what the 2nd or 3rd this year alone? Probably a dozen in the last 5 years and I haven’t even got a good N Lights show down here in S Indiana.
I remember the spectacular Aurora Borealis shows in the 90s we had and I think there was barely a mention of them coming up and I don’t recall any scary warnings. That one had to be big.
And remember. Man made CO2 is what controls the entire climate....
Ruh Roh! We have an open mike jam scheduled for Wed night. Maybe I should take my acoustic guitar................
As long as it happens at night, we’re safe.
Gee, so the Sun can affect our planetary environment. I wonder if it can affect the climate? Surely we need new laws to control the actions of the Sun, and overturn physics and planetary mechanics, because Green!
Gee, so the Sun can affect our planetary environment.
We should each and all carry a mattress to the top of a hill, and stand together to block the sun’s rays from hitting the ground. I know that will take a lot of effort and it will have a huge effect. We will all feel better for it.
It seems the sun has been having a lot of trouble with premature ejections lately.
Thanks blam.
...according to Rob Steenburgh, a space scientist with the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center... Electric grids, for the most part, “won’t get jazzed up about a G3,” he said.

Geomagnetic Storm Watch Added
April 4, 2022 @ 19:30 UTC
A faint coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced by a filament eruption in the southwest quadrant on April 3rd. NOAA/SWPC predict a possible Earth passage on April 6th. A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch will be in effect within the next 48-72 hours.
Does night matter. How long does it take a CME to travel from sun to earth? Does it travel through the atmosphere, or around the earth (affected by the gravitational pull?) and reach the dark side?
