2025 The Year of Schadenfreude
Boggles the mind.
I do not understand people who have everything, were given everything as children and never suffered at all, and of all the things you could choose to be in life, you choose to be someone who hurts other people.

We must not allow the fourth pillar to crumble.
Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away."

Other reporters say they have been targeted too.

The Los Angeles Press Club says law enforcement officers have violated press freedoms of reporters covering anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles more than three dozen times. https://n.pr/3Zw0tPg

OVATION model auroral oval looking healthy as we rotate underneath it, now. It should be dark enough soon along the U.S. east coast to see something to the north.

Monitor activity using dedicated night-sky webcams. I have a large list of cams on my site: go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

For the love of dogs, PLEASE include date and time when you screenshot tweets and other posts. It matters.

Poor Trump. I mean, this thing with Musk coming so soon after Trump's breakup with Vladimir Putin.

It would be funny, if it wasn't terrifying.
I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Nix KP
This is one example of why Kp isn't the best tool to use in real-time. On Saturday night right after the CME hit, the aurora responded immediately and went into a substorm cycle. The aurora changed rapidly over an hour while the Kp sat and did nothing.

Major eruption (X1.1 flare) detected near the east limb at 15:20 UTC. This will be responsible for a bright CME. More to follow.

Back to posting space stuff. There is still so much beauty in the world.
YESSSS! I got Totality AND aurora!

An impulsive X2.0 solar flare (R3 Radio Blackout) was just detected peaking at 19:27 UTC (Feb 23). More details to follow.

I need some sky magic.
Near X-Flare (M8.8) produced by AR 3981 peaking at 03:58 UTC (Feb 3). The flare was impulsive and a noteworthy CME is unlikely from this event. Additional flaring likely as the region increases in both size and magnetic complexity.

WTAF Michigan
In 2019, when Trump wanted John Ratcliffe as his head of National Intelligence, Democrats called him shockingly unqualified, noting his only qualification was loyalty to Trump. Trump had to pull the nomination and do a recess appointment.

Today, only 25 Dems voted against him for head of the CIA.

Wow, look at this coronal hole! It has grown a bit over the past day and looks a bit more impressive. We may see some faster solar winds at Earth in the next 2-3 days, triggering minor to moderate geomagnetic storming (G1-G2/Kp 5-6). Good chances for mid-latitude aurora!🤞

You may not believe in climate change but your insurance company does. When your payment skyrockets because organizations whose entire job is measure risk decide that your community is risky you will get that climate inaction is screwing you, personally. Not birds and butterflies. You.

Although to be fair, some of that deep thinking makes me depressed and/or mad.

I'm one of the lucky ones who sees aurora color. Obviously, the color is less vibrant than photos, but it is definitely visible.
This is true! Not everyone sees colors the same way. For a nuanced breakdown, I have a blog article on my site which is worth checking out: theauroraguy.com/blogs/blog/w...

Very rare auroral event just occurred over Fairbanks. Continuum aurora with FAEs! I have never seen this before in this region, only in Svalbard data.
