Star Connection, Pluto, Cosmos

The last 24 hours of the Earth Facing disc shows the three sunspotless bright areas making their turn to start heading off of the disc along with the south of the equator coronal hole. No solar flares and no coronal mass ejections(CME). The Planetary K-index is in stable green levels. The coronal hole winds should arrive in a day or so, but we should start seeing some effects on Earth. Maybe a high 5 or low 6 magnitude quake by Monday night.

Space Objects

The airplane-sized Near-Earth Object(NEO) labeled (2010 WC9) has made its way on to the Next 5 NEO list. As you can see, it is listed at passing by with the distance of 126,000 miles. That's very close in astronomical terms.

the waste of tax money is incredible.
