A Compass That Looks To The Stars

Although a lot of tools have been digitized and consolidated into our smartphones, from cameras, music players, calendars, alarm clocks, flashlights, and of course phones, perhaps none are as usefu…

#CME: A coronal mass ejection (CME) might be #heading for #Earth. It was launched into space this morning (July 10th @ 0355 UT) by an M2-class eruption in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR3358 . According to a NASA model, the partial halo CME will sideswipe our planet on July 13th. The impact could spark G1 to G2-class geomagnetic storms.
