Big CME Heading Our Way

#1

Post by Graeme1858 »


From Spaceweather.com:

A BIG CME IS COMING: Yesterday's X1-class solar flare (described below) hurled a bright CME toward Earth. NASA and NOAA models agree that the storm cloud should reach our planet by the early hours of March 25th (UT). A direct hit could spark strong G3-class geomagnetic storms with mid-latitude auroras in the USA and Europe.

Also notified in Marshall's Night Sky This Week, 25th March to 31st March 2024

Full moon put a dampener on things, in between the clouds.

Same as that! I was out capturing C25 for the Monthly Challenge, it was the first clear night for ages! So I had a look towards the North for greens and reds but the full Moon bleached it all.
