only for the better, now's the time to set a new WR.
It will make it possible to do the TTC glitch consistently saving half an A press
Wario uses it as a cheat
It could corrupt the save data on your cart
Just rainbow road.
You'll need to play Mario Galaxy or Majora's mask for anything significant.
1pm ET. So it already happened?
either it has not happened yet or it has already calmed down because QRZ.com shows everything as normal
Checking my image recordings the only thing I see as an ejection around 12 hours ago, so it would have to be a really fast burst to arrive today? Current Kp index is only at 2.3 which is pretty normal, and even NOAA's own forecast shows nothing happening. I'd say this event is a dud.
Yep, thats prob the case
authentic question: can you explain your logic?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking for. So, I would need more information to be able to answer properly.
I don't know what QRZ.com is, so I don't understand how the site being up lead to your conclusion. I'm not criticizing in anyway, but moreso just trying to understand because it sounds interesting to me. While I don't know the math, I love theoretical physics, and am wondering what I'm missing out on 🙂
Oh, qrz is a website for amateur radio operators and it has data from another site that has solar information I pulled up QRZ to take a look at that solar information at a glance. And the geomagnetic field was quiet with an S1 to S2 radio noise level, which is extremely low.
We're free now, throw your tracking devices at big techs faces
Oh, good! I might finally get a break from the buttplug I lost last week.
This is so fascinating and cool at the same time, crazy how things work around us!
The biggest solar event in recorded history happened in 1859. A similar storm today would be devastating on our current way of life around the globe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event
I wonder if something like that hit today if it would fry all of our satellites
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A geomagnetic storm is expected to surge across the Earth's atmosphere later today as a plume of solar plasma hits our planet.
This chunk of the sun was spat out on Sunday as a magnetic filament erupted from the star's surface, with the coronal mass ejection (CME) set to collide with the Earth at around 1 p.m.
The CME collision could lead to geomagnetic storms as intense as G2-class or even G3-class, which may trigger GPS issues, satellite problems, and auroras seen much further south than usual.
Amateur radio & #GPS users, expect disruptions on Earth's nightside," space weather physicist Tamitha Skov posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
CMEs are triggered by magnetic activity on the sun's surface flinging out huge volumes of solar plasma.
"Whilst these storms cannot harm us or nature directly, they are disruptive and potentially very damaging to technology," Huw Morgan, head of the Solar Physics group at Aberystwyth University in the United Kingdom, told Newsweek.
The original article contains 577 words, the summary contains 161 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This cloud, if aimed toward the Earth, approaches our planet in around 48 to 72 hours, though some can arrive much sooner.
I didn’t realize there was that much variation in the rate stuff comes off the sun. Does it ever clump up, if fast ejections overtake slow ones?
To give you a perspective on just how far away the sun is, if it were to blow up right now you wouldn't even see the light from the event for another 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
My GPS still doesnt work.. but maybe it's unrelated?
Did it work before?
Have you tried turning it off then back on? 3 times?
