Coronal Mass Ejection – Coming!

An hour after my last post, I was reading my newsfeed on my phone. Truth is stranger than fiction!

A giant solar tendril, known as a solar filament, lashed out from the sun on Saturday (Sept. 16) catapulting a super-hot plasma eruption known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. 

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a G2-class moderate geomagnetic storm watch as it keeps an eye on the Earth-directed portion of the CME expected to hit on Sept. 19. 

This could be good news for aurora chasers. Should the CME arrive as anticipated, it could trigger a geomagnetic storm similar to the one on Sept. 12 that sparked auroras as far south as Colorado and Missouri, according to Spaceweather.com

The CME is expected to hit tomorrow (Sept. 19) and could spark impressive aurora displays.

Solar physicist Keith Strong took to X (formally known as Twitter) to express his excitement about the colossal eruption. “THE BIGGEST ERUPTION I HAVE EVER SEEN! I have been observing the sun professionally for over 50 years and this is the largest filament eruption I have seen. “

Geomagnetic storms are disturbances to Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar material from CMEs — large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun’s atmosphere.

NOAA ranks geomagnetic storms on a scale running from G1, which could cause an increase in auroral activity around the poles and minor fluctuations in power supplies, up to G5, the most extreme level that can cause complete HF (high frequency) radio blackout on the entire sunlit side of the Earth lasting for a number of hours.

The predicted G2 storm on Tuesday (Sept. 19) could trigger extensive auroral displays and, according to NOAA, could result in a limited blackout of HF radio communication on the sunlit side and possible loss of radio contact for up to tens of minutes. There may also be degradation of low-frequency navigation signals for tens of minutes.

We can expect more extreme space weather events as the sun builds towards a peak in its 11-year solar activity cycle, expected to occur in 2025. But like weather on Earth, space weather is a fickle fellow and predictions can turn on a dime. 

Northern Crown of The Arora Borealis

Approximately every 80 years, a faint 10th magnitude star in the constellation of Corona Borealis dramatically increases its brightness. This star, T CrB, is known as a recurrent nova and last flared in 1946, peaking at magnitude 2.0, temporarily making it one of the 50 brightest stars in the night sky.

Starfish Tackles The Octopus

No sooner did Starfish enter the 400 meter hurdle race -with forged documents handed to her by an agent of BAD – then our track star got a personal call from The Wizard.

“Victoria and I have been talking about your – behind your back – could you tell?

“No!” said Starfish, she in rare, shock!”

“Good! It worked! Professor John Von Bond is a psychic, and he showed us how to put up a psychic block. This is the reason your two never go along. He knews you were very psychic, and was blocking you. Do you know how psychic you are?”

“Yes – and no! As a Christian I am now allowed to subscribe to supernatural powers. We can not consult a witch, like King Saul did. This led to his……”

“Never mind about that. We want you to try to contact Griner in her cell – where she is freaking out. We want you to ground her. We want you to take her being into the Rose of the World Matrix – and calm her down! Find a place to lie down. The Professor Bond is going to come to you! You know the story of Jonah and the Whale?”

“Of course!”

“You are Jonah, and John Von Bond…..is the whale! Meditate on this.”
