CME waves from January 19th M 3.2 LDE Solar Flare Arrive as expected.

Yes it's comming in!

Aurora forecast is at level 9. Maybe a good chance to see the Northern lights in the mid latitudes tonight.

Where in Europe it will reach?

Tromso, Norway K-Index jumped from 3 to 5.

Translate please...

I'm not sure what you mean by "translate". K-index of 5 or greater is storm-level and may affect satellites with electron charges and increased orbital drag.

Ok it help! You know this info is so thecnical that i became lost with so many information...

Iceland, for example (If it gets dark it will be great show)

We have power outages in Rotterdam, not sure if it's related...

Did anyone feel a weird ringing at around 1110am Pacific time, coupled with a glazed feeling like you were under the influence of something for a few moments?

For the un-initiated, I found an excellent learning tool is the sub-atomic Magneto-Mini-Golf video game from NASA. It'll help one undestand the strange workings of the magnetosphere and aurorae.

curious.

feels too simple to me....

Thanks for this!

Did you play through? It's much more challenging toward the end.

The pressure seems to be dropping, question is what will happen from 13 hours of pressure on the magnetosphere.

That first hit last night around 3:00am had the wingtips of the bowshock leaving the image and the front end was compressed pretty severely.

Uh-Oh, spacequakes may spawn magnetic twisters.

"In the process, the broken line can attract high-energy particles in Earth's atmosphere to create a whip-like "plasma jet."

These jets crash into other parts of Earth's magnetic field at about 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) above the planet's surface, where they bounce like tennis balls hitting a carpet.

"We have learned that the plasma jets from the magnetic tail bounce and then bounce again, and so on, till they eventually lose all their energy," said Angelopoulos, also the principal investigator for THEMIS.

Each set of plasma jet impacts can release as much energy in total as a magnitude 5 to 6 earthquake, THEMIS revealed."

the plasmasphere was super compressed.. look here if you haven't

those are consecutive 20 minute intervals..



the last one shows the plasmaphere rebounding

You are saying we will have it? Why?

Excellent!

Same here,it even started giving me a headache so I took some Ibuprofren,but my ears are still bothering me.

I have 6ish hours of the first three hits in an animated GIF format, it's just 2.8mb and I can't find anywhere to host it.

Also I think the pressure is rising a little, density took a tiny rise and there is a yellowish tint to the leading edge.

Edit: Yep the parts directly from the poles are turning red again.

Does anyone know if Ecuador will be feeling the effects from this?
Earthquake warnings? Volcanos? etc;?

headache and tingling in the ears , getting stronger . Is it just me or something is up?

cool Hugh,...

i have had minor interference with electronics. Tv has flickered on and off a few times as has the pc. Dont know if it is associated with todays events, but thought I would mention it :s

My TV too.
