i posted a while back about how the bright whiteness now starts as soon as the sun rises, and lasts till the sun sets, where last year it took a good half hour to get going, and you could comfortably see the sun disc, and in the evening, half hour before setting, you could comfortably look at the disc of the sun too

now, look CAREFULLY at that image.

that white sheet of 'energy' at the bow shock. concentrate on that. doesn't it almost look like a hand, grabbing out, reaching out to us? That's only a 2D view, I know, but try and picture it 3D in your mind.

what i said earlier, about the sun being comfortable to look at early morning and late evening, but not now, well, is THAT WHITE SHEET OF ENERGY expanding across the bow shock, gradually, unstoppably? does that explain why NOW the bright whiteness is ALL DAY? Is that graphical depiction of white energy ACTUAL white energy? Is THAT what we are all seeing?

i have to admit, I put the whitening sun down to increasing S02 in the atmosphere, but I am more and more leaning towards some sort of interaction between us and the sun at the bow shock as the explanation, especially after seeing that.

So, let's take this to it's logical conclusion. what if it KEEPS expanding, and totally envelopes our magnetosphere?

what could happen? well, as you can see from that image, the energies would fly into the poles, causing extremely strong auroras, as the energies slammed into the atmosphere very high up, and green auroras, because oxygen being impacted by strong energies like this creates green auroras..

'strong green auroras'..

now, open those two links, press Ctrl and F to bring search up, then type the words 'unusually strong' or 'unusually' or 'strong' into the search bow in both sites.

it's been scrubbed. the words 'unusually strong' are no longer on those links.

normalcy.

also, notice the dates of the two links? September last year, and March this year? I'm not sure of the significance of that, but it's around the times of the equinoxes, if that means anything.

this is the key. If we can crack this, we'll figure it all out.

btw, back in 1998, green auroras were 'particularly strange'..

^^ using Ctrl and F again, put 'green auroras' in the search box and scroll through. very revealing.
