SPACE - S0 - 20200221 - Arctic Melt = Ice Age, Space Fields, Disaster Companions

SPACE - S0 - 20200221 - Arctic Melt = Ice Age, Space Fields, Disaster Companions

Good Morning, 0bservers!

   
    
Although solar wind speeds stayed relatively steady yesterday (between 370-420 KPS) it ramped up around 0200 Eastern to a high of 500 KPS, settling back down to about a 500 KPS clip. Just before that rise, the KP Index bumped up to KP-4, but it's back down to KP-3 in the last two readings, so keep an eye on the instability. There's a pair of small coronal holes that have developed just South of the equator heading for the meridian, but they're not highly organized so I'm unsure of what impact, if any, they represent. Didn't see any major bright spots on the surface, but there was a fantastic prominence release on the Southeast lim (yesterday's video showed some really cool stuff up on the Northeast lim) at 304Å.  Mostly blot echo activity yesterday with one rather big exception - a Mag 5.9 about a hundred miles off the coast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy (try to say that five times fast) Russia, about 44KM deep.

Looks like all we knew about the cosmic timeline may be a bit "off"... ;)  

  
Enjoy!
