"You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me." Morpheus - Matrix

Strong G2-G1 geomagnetic Storm today - 04.11.2021


Hight Kp 7 and Kp6

Significant geomagnetic storm conditions continue as the CME from the M1.7 flare passes our planet. The solar wind speed is around 700km/s which adds extra fuel on the fire.

A CANNIBAL CME

The CME heading for Earth is a cannibal. SOHO coronagraphs caught the storm cloud leaving the sun on Nov. 2nd following a slow-motion solar flare (M1.7) in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2891.

This CME is a cannibal because it ate others of its own kind. Cannibal CMEs are fast coronal mass ejections that sweep up slower CMEs in front of them. The mish-mash contains tangled magnetic fields and compressed plasmas that can do a good job sparking geomagnetic storms.


This cannibal CME cause a lot of beautiful auroras even in Los Angeles too.
