nemesis maturity The CME launched by Tuesday’s X-flare has just reached Earth. It appears to be as potent as advertised. Solar wind speeds have jumped up to 770 km/s and a crack is opening in Earth’s magnetic field. This is setting the stage for G3 to G4-class geomagnetic storms later today. Skywatchers should be alert for auroral displays. #CME #solarstorm #spaceweather Images credit: nemesis maturity channel, NOAA/SWPC, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Music credit: YouTube Audio Library Final Girl - Jeremy Blake
