Space Weather Daily Update for 15 December, 2017
The Sun is Stirring, New Planet, Typhoon
The last 24 hours on the Earth Facing disc look active, but nothing happened from the pops and movements. No sunspots or solar flares to speak of. If anything should happen, it could be from plasma filaments releasing they come around to center disc tonight and tomorrow. The solar wind is extremely calm. The Planetary K-index is so low in the green, it is almost off the scale as we wait for things to pick up from the passing coronal hole. However, Europe did have a geomagnetic event, but nothing was reported on the ground to show that anything happened.
Earthquakes and other rumbling
Space Objects
- Yesterday, there was only 1 Near Earth Object(NEO) listed in the database for today. Today, there are 4 NEOs doing a fly by today. While none of them will come closer than 1 million miles towards Earth and none of them are bigger than a commercial airliner, it should get you thinking. Would an asteroid that big destroy the Earth or cause an Extinction Level Event (ELE)? No, but if it hit in the middle of a city and people were only given a few hours notice, it might cause a lot of panic.
Other news
- Artificial Intelligence, NASA Data Used to Discover Eighth Planet Circling Distant Star. So, AI wants us to check out Kepler-90 more closely. Closely is the phrase, as in all of Kepler-90s planets are closer to their star than the Earth is to the Sun. Not a good place for humans.
Speaking of getting close. Time to zoom in on a couple of things
- Stellar Nursery Blooms into View
- Dawn of a galactic collision. Galaxies don't touch when they collide, the just cause all sorts of problems and create new objects.
