Does this make me the second most interesting person in the world?

The green line has a lifetime of less than a second.
For people who use vacuum chambers, it was not until the 1920s that they were able to produce a good enough vacuum in the lab to be able to identify that red line." 2/2

I read the story and couldn't imagine how it could work as a movie.

Saw ARRIVAL with my wife and niece, neither had read the novella. Afterwards, they said they couldn't imagine how it could work as a book.

But Joseph, you did travel in time! You see... oh, you mean backwards in time.

I know - but you mentioned auroras on the gas giants. Upper atmosphere of Jupiter is heated by auroras.

Well, I mean, duh!

He's not a kid. He's 34!

I've seen this formation before...

Over Lake Minnetonka (from a friend) and in our backyard

geomagnetic storms over the next few days.

Here are some useful links:

SWPC: www.swpc.noaa.gov This center issues the alerts (even during the shutdown) and has a lot of information (and data!) available about it.

So - keep watching the skies! 4/4

Maybe nothing, if the magnetic field in the ejections is not oriented the "right" way ("right" way = southward, to reconnect with the northward-directed field of our magnetosphere). But if the magnetic field IS oriented the right way, and if other conditions are also right, this could mean BIG 3/N

The Space Weather Pred Center has issued a watch for severe geomagnetic storms.

Currently there are three coronal mass ejections basically tripping over each other to see who can get to the Earth first, and we should see the impacts of these over the next few days. What might those impacts be? 2/N

You should ALWAYS cook with wine.

Sometimes it even goes into the dish.

That looks fantastic, but as an experimentalist, I need a direct measurement to ascertain quality.
