SPACE - S0 - 20210429 - USA Earthquakes, Dusty Wave, Oceanic Changes

Good Morning, 0bservers!

   
    
A quieter day yesterday up on ol' Sol. Wind speeds continued to track down after yesterday's report, now in the 320-340 KPS range. Particle Density started a gentle rise as the speed was going down, and Temperature readings took a significant drop around 0400 UTC from 5000°K to around 4200°K. It was about the same time that the two magnetic indices (Bt and Bz) almost met on the upper portion of the DSCOVR chart. Phi Angle has been mildly variable throughout the period, but nothing worrisome. The KP-Index is remaining in the calm range. Magnetometer readings have returned to a normal sine wave pattern. Proton Flux readings remain nominal, but the Electron Flux just touched the Alert Threshold level yesterday early evening. X-Ray Flux readings were also pretty calm (relatively) with just one mid-Class B spike around 0900 UTC yesterday, and the background radiation stabilizing in upper-Class A again afterward. The solar video loops did something REALLY weird, though. Just before 2100 UTC, the image of the sun (which always remains in the center) suddenly jumped to the far right of the screen, so you can only see the left (Eastern) half of the star. However, from what I could see, the bulk of the Northern coronal hole system has passed central heliographic longitude (that's science-talk for "the middle"), and we should begin feeling the effects from that in the next day or so. The large and long sunspot group is getting closer to the Western lim, but we're still at risk, whereas its leading and smaller cousin is close to crossing out of range.
