SPACE - S0 - 20200806 - Solar Resonance, Jupiter Storms, The Astrosphere
Good Morning, 0bservers!
Sorry, folks, my main computer had been in the shop for over a week. Luckily, I can report with some small amount of pride that the sun did NOT explode while I was offline...
Well, we're definitely down in the solar wind speed range from 48 hours ago, when we saw peaks near 800 KPS. That started a steady downward trend since then, dipping to only (only?) 400 KPS around midnight before rising up again to 500 KPS. Looks like we're seeing Cycle 25 kicking in. The KP Index is back in the green from two days ago as well, staying pretty much in the KP-1 to KP-2 range in the intervening hours. Still seeing a pretty high electron count, and it's currently dancing along the "alert" line, but proton flux levels have remained steady and low in the same period. We're seeing coronal hole activity along the equator passing through central heliographic longitude. We're also seeing some really bodacious bright spots in the Northern hemisphere. One of them (the one just behind the central (and large) anomaly) does have some underlying sunspots with magnetic complexity. There's a third bright spot crossing the Eastern lim on the North, but we're also seeing a glow growing South of there. The lithosphere wasn't taking a vacation either, with a Mag 5.5 West of Indonesia, a Mag 5.3 North of Svalbard, a Mag 5.2 off Sand Point Alaska again (something's really brewing down there, folks), a Mag 5.4 off Hasaki Japan, and a rather bodacious blot echo off Vanuatu coming in at Mag 6.4 about 110 miles deep.
