Well I am so glad to see this thread and it should be pinned MOds, because this is something COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

As near as I can tell from my long history of observing these things, is field failure coming upon us. Not only no wind, but no PROTONS either. Very strange. There is STILL after all the hours a full OPEN magnetic field and the AE index proves it, besides the image.

Something very new is going on.
