GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH

Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on May 18-19 when a pair of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The two CMEs left the sun on consecutive days: One from sunspot AR2822 on May 13th, the next from sunspot AR2823 on May 14th. Individually, the CMEs appear to be weak and insubstantial; however, they could add up to a geomagnetic storm when they arrive in quick succession this Tuesday.

If you go in tomorrow, you might want to ride your horse.
His primitive electronics won’t get fried as badly as your car’s.
Watch for smoke curling from under his saddle blanket, tho!

It’s a poor secret. Anybody can get readings anytime they want to. What is really happening is always subject to debate . I figure some people must be sitting on their data so that a competing team does not get the chance to publish first.

It just don’t sound right to me.
A pair of pants is on the floor.
A good writer would avoid the controversy by saying:
“...two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are expected...”

[Larry Lucido]

Can't argue that.

Anyway, here is one keet.

Here are a pair o' keets.

Here is a parakeet.

Even the telegraph office will be down.

You're gonna have to cage that sense of humor.

[null and void]

That makes sense. We have the data, but if we publish now, someone will publish first!

Will Faraday save us? nyuk, nyuk.

Will Faraday save us? nyuk, nyuk.

No. I think I see an inclined plane wrapped around a central cylinder to form a spiral in our future.

[dynachrome]

Ah, the borgomite moebius manever.

(actually, ya got me on that one)

[Starstruck]

Ah, the borgomite moebius manever.

Yeah. One side fits all.

[dynachrome]

LOL

[mosesdapoet]

Where is the projection when and where it’s going to hit ?

[dynachrome]

Today tomorrow, the day after. It’s like that russkie rocket splashdown.

[Jane Long]

Love it when you post that one :-)

Erf??? Wtf is a erf?

Or do u mean earth?
Check a dictionary for proper pronunciation.

[null and void]

I’m mocking the greenie Erf worshipers.

You can have the data but that does not mean you are ready to publish. It means you want everything to fit together and make sense . You don’t want to make some big claim only to have it shot down by being sloppy. The detection of Gravity waves is a good example. LIGO sat on their data for months before they went public with it.

[thecodont]

Auroras at 38 degrees north? That would be cool!

[null and void]

Fair point. In the case of LIGO, how many other gravity wave detectors are there?

[Nateman]

Virgo in Italy. Japan is working on one but it’s not up yet.
