Solar Wind Advisory

[Friends just call me Ross]

The latest solar windstorm arrives early and is expected to last for the next few days.

Which means, I will be outdoors, if the skies are clear, watching for some breathtaking auroras.

SOLAR WIND ADVISORY: Arriving a day earlier than expected, a stream of solar wind is enveloping Earth's magnetic field today. The fast-moving (600+ km/s) stream could influence our planet for the next three days with a 60% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms between now and March 23rd.  Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras in the waxing twilight of northern Spring.

Monday, March 27th.

 

A new, even more powerful, solar windstorm is currently buffeting the earth.

Which means that those with clear skies who are living at the right North and South latitudes, will get to see even more spectacular displays of auroras.

Last night's view of auroral activity at the South Pole:

 

Breathtaking beauty!

The solar windstorm continues, and so do the magnificent auroras!

And shimmering seahorses:

 

Tiny reflections of Jehovah's glory.
