This CH stream is packing a punch. Earth better muster up some kind of shield.

early to mid next week. I have many years of experience in the field and while talking to other applicants it didn't seem like any of them had nearly the qualifications. Should be a shoe in, will report in when I find something out :)

The Space X Falcon 9 rocket+ Dragon vehicle successfully launched this morning. It's a re-supply mission to the ISS. Weren't they going to launch a monkey into space soon,LOL. NASA may soon be out of business, hehe.

There's a weird subliminal message in the middle of this video. It may be an illuminati code or signal....I'm not joking now.

Thanks for the video Hugh. Hub and I have been cheering Space X on. As far as that 'subliminal' message goes....hmmm But you really can't even call it subliminal because it sure isn't hidden. The thing stays on view for at least a few seconds. Strange, strange, strange. Wonder what the intention is.

WTF is that in frames 3:17-19?? There was another 4.8 quake off of Japan in the last hour. That picture does not set well with me considering Fukupshima and the recent earthquake activity.

what in the hades was that for ?!?!? strange

I sure miss the kitty avatar....I always knew it was you just at a glance. Sending your a big prayer that you get this job!!

You are talking about the Japan Anime Radio Broadcast, correct?

Yes. It is a Japanese Anime cartoon with a girl chained over what looks like a sinkhole?

wow i can't believe i overlooked that. solar wind spike up to 900 km/s?! I have not ever seen that, thank you

Many of you already know this, but it still amazes me.

900km/s = just over 2 million miles per hour
or 3,240,000 km/per hour

almost the escape velocity of the milky way

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think today's Kp=5 threshold is the first in 2013. I'm going from memory here, and I remember 1 warning but that time the threshold wasn't reached. That's a long quiet time, eh?

If the Bz dives back south to -10 to -20 we may see more storm levels. It's been a zig-zag most of the day.

Some weak flaring recently from 1682 with possible ejecta. This region is just below the Earth's magnetic footpoint so any significant eruption will be geo-effective. Notice X-ray flux is rising, too.

We may have a Hyder flare w/CME on the northwest side of the region.

Earth's magnetic footpoint is directly over the coronal hole now and just north of 1682.

Physicist Dean Pesnell believes we'll see another peak to this cycle, was reading about that recently. Thanks for the post. We may see a nice jump in activity soon, I truly believe this is the case

uh oh, level 3 warning issued for 3/1-3/2

I can feel the electron ground contact, its been a while, so strangely familiar.lol

Just throwing this crazy notion out there...but it comes across at 3:16, 3:17, 3:18.

I for one will be watching those dates!

Nice find there, it's nice hear some kind of explanation from the experts at NASA, haha. Actually this explains a lot....wow, another peak in 2015! NINz will have over 4 million page views by then, LOL.

GREAT catch! Unfortunately, I feel you might be on to something.

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
Threshold Reached: 2013 Mar 01 1134 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0900-1200 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor

hitting 600km/ps atm

I have been watching the solar wind for a while last night and tonight. Shit's getting real!!! The Bz is not cooperating with us right now, but hopefully will later on.

Updates on Comet Panstarrs-

March 1: Yep, naked eye! From Buenos Aires, veteran comet observer and science journalist Mariano Ribas writes,

"Since last night (Feb. 28th) comet PanSTARRS is a naked-eye object in the Buenos Aires sky, despite its low altitude (a few degrees over the SW horizon at evening twilight) and the strong urban light pollution. I estimated it a magnitude around 2.8. Almost a full magnitude brighter than just 3 days ago!

"With 10x50 binoculars, the comet looks yellowish, and the center of its coma looks not only brighter now, but also shows a very high degree of concentration. Also, I could easily see a 1º tail against the light blue sky of twilight.

"If that trend continues in the next days, I think that this comet could be a great astronomical show in the days around its perihelion March 10th."

And although Comet ISON is 430 million miles from the sun, you may want to bookmark ISON's Twitter page for later:

I'm to understand that PanSTARRS will be visible in the northern hemisphere starting around the 8th, would you happen to know which direction to look right after sunset?

Merci!

Awesome...double hump.

Northern max now over?

Southern max now beginning...?

GASA - Right again.

Love seeing the kitty back! I use to have a Russian Blue also

Howdy, mtn mang, perihelion is on the 10th so it will be too close to the sun. Look for it around the 15th or after. If it's not in the news you'll find updates here.
