The pioneering space experiences will be the ultimate voyage to encounter new planets around distant stars. Theirs will be the journey into the extraordinary. On distant planets are incandescent storms big enough to swallow the earth. Bolts of lightning thousands of miles long. Raging infernos of toxic gas. Inconceivable violence and terrifying extremes. These are the planets from hell.

14-04-13 Geomagnetic Storm Update HD
Best viewed with window expanded.
The lights dimmed. Something I take so naturally in stride over the years and just smile to myself when these events occur, the Geomagnetic Storm. Ground based magnetometers detected a geomagnetic sudden impulse measuring 29 nT at 22:57 UTC and this signals the passage of an expected Coronal Mass Ejection passed our planet. The ACE spacecraft initially detected a solar wind increase to near 500 km/s at 22:20 UTC.
We might say hmmmm that's not very strong, well it isn't over yet we have until the 15th inclusive to measure the strength of the plasma cloud impacting our geomagnetosphere. (This is basically a continuation from yesterday with its updates)
Enjoy ;)
