#CME SPARKS STRONG #GEOMAGNETIC #STORM: Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from a fast-moving CME strike on Sept. 18th. The CME's arrival (a day earlier than expected) sparked a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm with auroras stretching from France to the West Coast of the USA.

Jeroen Daniels photographed the display from Edmonton, Alberta:

"As soon as the sun set I could see auroras dancing in the twilight sky," says Daniels. "The colours were unlike any that I have seen before--greens mixed with blues mixed with reds, orange, pink. It was amazing!"

At the apex of the storm, red atomic-oxygen auroras spread into the United States as far south as Colorado (+40.4N), Missouri (+40.1N), and Nebraska (+41.9N). It was a true mid-latitude event.

Not all the lights in the sky were auroras. Many observers also spotted STEVE--a glowing ribbon of purple light caused by currents of hot plasma flowing through Earth's magnetosphere. Michele Sadauskas photographed the phenomenon from Glidden, Wisconsin:

"When I stepped out of the truck, STEVE appeared vividly across the sky," says Sadauskas. "I quickly set up my pano rig and was pretty happy with the capture. This is the first time I've caught STEVE crossing all the way from east to west!"

Other notable sightings of STEVE were made in Montana, Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Vorticity 5 // A Storm Time-lapse Film (4K)

Epic!

Photographer and stormchaser extraordinaire Mike Olbinski is back with the fifth volume in his “Vorticity” series. Shot over the 2022 and 2023 tornado seasons in the U.S. Central Plains, this edition has virtually everything: supercells, microbursts, lightning, tornadoes, and haboobs. There’s towering convection and churning, swirling turbulence. It’s a spectacular look at the power and grandeur of our atmosphere. (Video and image credit: M. Olbinski)

Hhhmm...... Lets explore this system...

While approaching XY the science vessel SNS Gagarin suddenly received a glancing hit by several passing mass driver rounds. The projectiles were billions of years old and based on their trajectory they appear to be stray rounds fired from a neighbouring galaxy.....

Shit ... stellaris (game on steam) got me there so much... I love it. ;)

Meanwhile, yesterday i got woken up by a BANG. Followed by a partial power outage i then identified to a tripped breaker killing my workstation and anything else relevant in my combined living and sleeping room... WTF?

Turns out, this contraption i used to hold a window in a specific state of "a litte bit open":

Image of a transformator for a old emergency lighting/power system. 8.9Kg/416.67pound - configured/wound for 380volt three phase on the primary and 60volt ac on the secondary (and probably in reverse in case of mains fault.)

a transformator from a old emergency power system, weight about 8,9 kilogram (416.67 pound), failed on me.

We had a bit of a storm and in addition to getting other windows slammed shut because of the wind. Nature actually managed to shove this hefty trafo block from the marble window sill down to the ground.

Hitting this innocent and unsuspecting power strip:

shattered remains of a european (german) style power strip.

which totally gave up instantly and resorted to remain in a shattered state. Which _FOR_ _SURE_ created a short and tripped the breaker.

Let me tell you, in such a situation, you don't need any coffee to be truly awake.... On top of that, DO NOT JUST GO AND GRAB THE METALLIC OBJECT FROM THAT PILE.. Even in my whacky state of being just woken up, i had the brain to first check my breaker board and see with a relief, that there was actually a tripped breaker and so it should be safe to disconnect the power strip and whatever was connected to it, grab the trafo to put it back up on the window sill ... and search for a suitable power strip to rebuild the connection .. especially powering my ethernet switch.

While still powered down, i decided to quickly clean some dust-gunk from my cpu cooler which i should have done several months ago ... and after resetting the breaker, took on the endeavor to reboot my workstation into a usable state......

All in all ... a ... funny experience.... Not necessarily a nice one.

But hey...... nothing really bad happened...

Except to the mentioned SNS Gagarin from above.

So ....... to make long story short..

If you wonder where i am, because i'm not posting or resharing here:

I'm right at home, on my computer, managing my 'Commonwealth of Meh' in #Stellaris. ;)

CIR SPARKS G2-CLASS #GEOMAGNETIC #STORM: If you've never heard of a CIR, there's only one thing you really need to know: CIRs are good at making auroras. One hit Earth yesterday and lit up both ends of our planet--north and south. "The display in #NewZealand was one for the ages," reports Ian Griffin from #Hoopers Inlet on the #Otago Peninsula:

"The #aurora kept pulsing and, just as you thought it was going to end it exploded into life again," he says. "What a night!"

Short for "co-rotating interaction regions," CIRs are transition zones between fast- and slow-moving solar wind streams. Solar wind plasma piles up in these regions, producing shock-like structures that mimic CMEs. NOAA correctly predicted the arrival of a CIR on June 15th. Its impact opened a crack in our planet's magnetic field, fueling a G2-class geomagnetic storm that persisted through June 16th.

Because of the northern summer sun, Arctic observers couldn't see the show. Some #auroras, however, did spill into darkness at lower latitudes. Jeff Berkes sends this photo from #Cape-Cod, #Massachusetts:

Excellent article.

Today I drove over Rungholt,
The town went down six hundred years ago.

“From the North Sea, the Murder Sea, separated from the mainland,
The Frisian islands lie at peace.
Trutz, Blanke Hans.”
“A single cry - the city is sunk,
And hundreds of thousands have drowned.
