Space Weather Daily Update for 16 May, 2018
Sun, Extreme Outer Planet, Snow Planets
The last 24 hours on the Earth Facing disc were quiet. Two of the three bright spots have left and a new one is coming on. There are no sunspots within the bright spots, so we have no solar flares and no coronal mass ejecttions(CME). The slightly southern coronal hole is proving to be weak and hasn't caused much concern on Earth. The solar winds are dropping and the Planetary K-index is falling off the chart in calmness. The incoming northern coronal hole is higher up the disc, but stronger, so we might end up with some more volcanic activity on top of what we already have going on right now.
Earthquakes and volcanoes of note
- 5.8 magnitude earthquake SSW of L'Esperance Rock, New Zealand
- 5.4 magnitude earthquake near Enarotali, Indonesia
- 4.7 magnitude earthquake in Mauritius - Reunion region
Space Objects
No new Near-Earth Object(NEO) added to the database. Nice of NASA to post their article late about the close flyby. Because posting about a flyby on the day it happens is always late.

What else is floating out there in the confines of our solar system?
