SPACE - S0 - 20210507 - Great Solar Change, Magnetic Universe, Big Sunspots

Good Morning, 0bservers!

   
    
Solar winds were pretty steady most of yesterday, staying in the 310-340 KPS range, but they did dip below 300 KPS a couple of times after midnight UTC. Particle Density also stayed mostly steady, but it did go lower around midnight UTC before returning to its previous level. Temperature readings remain in the low 4000°K-4200°K range, but with some jumps above 5000°K in the evening and (again) around midnight UTC. Phi Angle readings were generally steady, but there were some wide differences between the Bt and Bz readings several times yesterday. KP-Index readings were mainly calm, predominated by KP-1s with a single KP-2 to make things interesting. The Magnetometer remains nominal, as do the Proton Flux and Electron Flux charts. X-Ray Flux background radiation levels remain elevated in the high-Class A range, and we had a few spikes into Class B, one of them reaching the upper quarter. The polar coronal hole system in the South has extended Northward quite a bit and is now passing the midpoint. The sunspot group in the South is also active, and it appears to be building a coronal hole directly above itself. As to the Eastern lim, where we had that pair of minor CMEs yesterday (not directed at Earth) it is REALLY getting bright and you can see a lot of activity near the chromosphere. Expect this one to be a bit nasty when it turns to.
