  • CME and Bombogenesis

    March 17, 2019

    On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the sun's atmosphere, the corona, erupted out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT. The coronal mass ejection, or CME, traveled at over 900 miles per second. The CME did not travel directly toward Earth, but did connect with Earth's magnetic environment, or magnetosphere, causing aurora to appear on the night of Monday, September 3. Picuted here is a lighten blended version of the 304 and 171 angstrom wavelengths.

    Some of you are probably wondering where this crazy weather is coming from. Hurricane-force winds blew across the plains on March 13th 2019, generating a massive winter storm. That’s Bombogenesis, or a Bomb Cyclone. If the same storm had formed over water, it would have been called a hurricane, and the effects of it covered […]

    New York has set the bar in one direction, permitting abortions even after the onset of labor pains.
