Space weather
Solar wind
speed: 364.9 km/sec density: 3.0 protons/cm3 The Earth-facing side of the sun is blank--no sunspots. CORONAL HOLE: A dark hole has formed in the sun's atmosphere. NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft photographed it just hours ago: It's a "coronal hole," a vast region where solar magnetic fields have opened up and allowed some of the sun's atmosphere to escape. The runaway atmosphere is heading our way in the form of a solar wind stream. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when it arrives on or about May 3rd. -- LSMFT If I wasn't me I wouldn't like me either.......... |
