Default ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6 -- Issue Time: 2015 Dec 21 0051 UTC

Space Weather Message Code: ALTK06
Serial Number: 388
Issue Time: 2015 Dec 21 0051 UTC

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6
Threshold Reached: 2015 Dec 21 0050 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0000-0300 UTC

Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate

NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

What do you think of what is perhaps one of the most contrived perspectives ever to appear using actual imaging where the circle of illumination pivots off the Equator ?. Somebody actually went out of their way to create a conceptual monster -

There is a sadness to all this even as the great event tomorrow as the area at the Northern polar latitudes reach their largest circumference and now coincide with the Arctic circle before shrinking over the coming weeks and months.

Of course, you didn't bother to read the explanations, or watch the movie, right? Didn't understand that the north pole was always 'up' here?

"Of course, it is not the Sun that is moving north or south through the seasons, but a change in the orientation and angles between the Earth and its nearest star. The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees relative to the Sun and the ecliptic plane. The axis is tilted away from the Sun at the December solstice and toward the Sun at the June solstice, spreading more and less light on each hemisphere. At the equinoxes, the tilt is at a right angle to the Sun and the light is spread evenly."

Still unteachable, still unable to learn something new... so sad...

Perspective, perspective, it is your downfall...

A cult mind has a memory like a sieve as the last horrible encounter was of a mind unable to grasp the concept of the Sun coming into view followed by the stars within each day due a single rotation of the planet. An unrepentant empiricist who can't help themselves by inserting an notion that the stars appear by 3 minutes 56 seconds earlier each night thereby destroying the natural asymmetry where the stars appear earlier or later as the seasons progress due to the rotation as a function of the orbital motion of the Earth.

The repulsive tilting circle of illumination where it pivots off the Earth's equator is a shame on this generation of people, so horrendous that even a fundamentalist/radical like you are unable to repost the gross misuse of satellite imaging -

Sadness is one of the things that make us human when encountering actions which diminish that gift that reasoning gift which goes beyond mere physical survival. You just don't have it like so many here.
