AURORA ALERT: A coronal mass ejection
is heading for Earth and extreme geomagnetic storms
are possible when it arrives on January 19th. Sky watchers
everywhere, be alert for auroras!

SPLAT! When the European Space Agency's Huygens probe
landed on Saturn's moon Titan last Friday, it landed in
something like mud. This adds to growing evidence that
Titan is a wet place. The probe's cameras photographed
apparent drainage channels, a shoreline and ground fog.

The site says, < coronal mass ejection into space--but not
toward Earth. >>

I think the geomagnetic storm is different
from a CME. Then again, what the fuck
do I know?

CMEs are bright and the magnetic
storms (sun spots) are dark.

This sun spot is pretty fuckin awesome,
the size of 80 earth-sized objects and
20-30 of those little CMEs.
I'll watch my compass all day today.
