STEALTHY CME IMPACT: A slow-moving CME that left the sun on July 19th hit Earth on July 24th. It arrived embedded in a solar wind stream, and made itself known by its magnetic field, which was stronger than that of normal solar wind plasma. Subscribers to our space weather alert service (Pro Plan) received a series of text messages about magnetic disturbances as the CME passed by.

Earth is now exiting the CME's wake, and the chance of auroras is subsiding.

WE HAD THAT ONE 6.5 ER.....NO COFFEE OR VINO...WHAT IS HOLDING ME UP?!

THE COLORS OF COMET NEOWISE: On July 23rd, Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) made its closest approach to Earth for the next 6,800 years. Michael Jaeger of Martinsberg, Austria, took advantage of the comet's proximity for a close-up photo, and he found some marvelous colors: [link to spaceweathergallery.com (secure)]

Now we can take a color-coded tour of Comet NEOWISE:

The comet's head is green. This is a sign of diatomic carbon, C2, a gas which emits a verdant glow in the near-vacuum of interplanetary space.

The comet's ion tail is blue. Once again, carbon is involved. One of the most abundant gases in comets is carbon monoxide (CO). When CO flows away from a comet's nucleus, it is ionized by solar UV radiation. Carbon monoxide ions (CO+) glow blue when they recapture electrons from the solar wind.

The comet's dust tail is wan yellow. It is, simply, the color of sunlight reflected from comet dust.

The two tails are nicely separated, revealing their individual colors, because they are guided by different forces. The gaseous ion tail is shoved directly away from the sun by solar wind; it acts as a kind of interplanetary windsock. The heavier dust trail, however, isn't so easily pushed around. Specks of dust are like bread crumbs dropped on the comet's orbit; they curve away from the ion tail, tracing the comet's "footsteps" instead of the local breeze.

Interesting read

hrmm...

This getting old shit just sucks...

I threw my back out yesterday by bending over...not lifting, not exercising, just bending over.

meh

SIMPLE DID YOU GET MY NOT OVER ON 'THAT OTHER' THREAD...BOUT DA SAMMICH....:)?

Oh no ! So sorry---make a hot bath with a couple cups epsom salts and soak in there for 30+ minutes. Every day.
Praying for you

:feelyabro:

I did something similar several years ago, bending over to stretch at the gym. Not sure what happened but I felt a very sudden pain shoot throughout my body. I froze in that position for a good minute then slowly got out of it and barely made it to my car/home. Was virtually immobile for a few days, until I finally reached out to a friend who is a chiropractor. Saw her 2x a week for a good 4 months or so. I wasn't even that old then! Point being, it happens. But yes, getting old does suck.

@Hawaii_EMA
Additional FEMA supplies have arrived on Maui. Last night a C-17 aircraft delivered 36 pallets of meals, 19 pallets of water, and nine pallets of electrical support ahead of Hurricane Douglas. Maui is expected to feel impacts over the next two hours.
