SPACE - S0 - 20200129 - Climate Mutiny, Dusty Plasma, Seismic Surprise

Good Morning, 0bservers!

   
   
Looks like we've got a bit of a "breeze" coming in from the Sun, folks. Currently the solar wind speed is 415KPS, after beginning its upward slope around midday yesterday thanks to the Southern coronal hole, hitting a high of nearly 500 KPS overnight. The KP index also rose into the KP-3 range (which is still in the safe zone), although the last reading went down a bit to KP-2. The magnetometer readings peaked around midnight UTC, but then took a nose dive immediately afterward. It's back on the rise. There was a release of one of the prominences on the NorthEast lim showing at 304Å, but this will have no effect on Earth. The Northern sunspot is getting further past the midpoint and appears to be decaying. However, while the Southern bright spot seems to appear active at 193Å, at 304Å it seems to be decaying and fading. The lithosphere was particularly active yesterday, with the kicker being a Mag 7.7 between Cuba and Jamaica (later downgraded to 7.3), with a follow-up Mag 5.3 off the Caymens. A tsunami warning had been posted, but the surge only seemed to be less than one foot, with the Caymens only reporting a 5" rise.
