SPACE - S0 - 20200818 - Superlightning, Magnetic Anomaly, Mystery Gamma Rays

Good Morning, 0bservers!

   
    
Solar winds were down and then up again yesterday, but still within calm ranges. We peaked at around 340 KPS, dipped as low as 280 KPS, and we're now in the 320-330 KPS range. There was a small jump in particle density, but that coincided with a sharp shift in the Phi Angle. That small jump did allow for a KP-Index rise, with the two readings after midnight up at the KP-2 level. The X-Ray Flux is back down at the bottom of the Class A range, with no big pops or surges from the solar surface. The equatorial coronal holes really grew in the past 24 hours, so we can expect higher solar winds/particle density by the end of the week. Bright spots don't seem to have changed all that much since yesterday, and we're still waiting for the glow on the other side of the lim to reveal the new crop. However, I did see on the Solar Visible Light video loop that the bright spot in the Northern hemisphere (which passed the midpoint yesterday) just started to develop underlying sunspots - small but with some possible magnetic complexity. Eyes open on that one, folks. Had greater quake activity yesterday, starting with a pair of quakes (Mag 5.2 and 5.5) along the Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge about two hours apart, then a Mag 5.3 off Papua New Guinea, a Mag 5.4 quake East of San Vicente Mexico, a very shallow Mag 5.1 East of Maneadero B.C. Mexico, a Mag 6.9 within the Philippine island chain (between islands, not in the open ocean), and a Mag 5.7 along the Southwest Indian Ridge.
