SATURDAY X-FLARE HUGE

[Pharaoh]

Behemoth sunspot 1302 unleashed another strong flare on Saturday morning--an X1.9-category blast at 0940 UT. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

The movie also shows a shadowy shock wave racing away from the blast site. This is a sign that the blast produced a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME isn't heading directly toward Earth, but it might deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field in the days ahead. Stay tuned for more analysis.

4. How does one dress for space weather?

Should I wear one of these?

:tinfoilhat:

It's getting dusty. I've been looking for an occasion for wearing it out, but there haven't been any good conspiracy theories lately.

5. Those of you in higher latitudes, look for Aurora activity.

Those in lower latitudes drink gin and tonic and hang out on the veranda.

6. This reminds me of an old BOC tune...

Before the Kiss

So grab your rose and ring side seat,
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo,
Reds and wine, cokes of course

Oh my suzy, my suzy,
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know
The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

And underneath, the black light,
Underneath it all
Four and forty redheads meet,
Come to doom 'til the dawn

With threats of gas and rose motif
Their lips apart like a swollen rose
Their tongues extend, and then retract
A redcap, a redcap, before the kiss, before the kiss.

Doors like flint and window panes
An endless shadow bar
The owner's boys have gone to work
To stop big deals behind the bar

While outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Where thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills

One thrill and mundane here at last
Expect the cross one more
Lecherous invisible
Beware the limping cat

Whose black teeth grip between loose jaws
Still ripe and fully bloomed
A rose that's not from anywhere
That you would know or I would care

And the owners boys act most cheerfully
Back home at Conry's bar
When their patrons' thoughts at last
Grow too big for their skulls

And awful things are happening
We've let this drama fold
And now the time has come at last
To crush the motif of the rose.

So grab your rose and ring side seat
We're back home at Conry's bar
The blond girl with her tattoo
Reds and wine, cokes of course

Oh my suzy, my suzy
Why did we ever start
It's morning now, you'd never know



The gin, the gin, glows in the dark, glows in the dark

8. I've seen the Northern Lights only once, in Northern Wisconsin as a kid.

I would love to see that again.

11. I saw them once myself, in DC in the 1950s, around '57 or so.

I was just a school kid and I very well remember that they told about them on the radio and I went to the apartment window and watched well into the night.

13. I saw them in Ky and Detroit. Both times they were red.
