QuoteDOUBLE CME: Active sunspot AR1504 is facing Earth and hurling coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in our direction. A fast-moving CME that left the sun on June 14th is expected to scoop up another CME already en route and deliver a double-blow to Earth's magnetic field on June 16th. Weak-to-moderate geomagnetic storms are possible when the clouds arrive..

Sorry once again folks, am too tired to keep my eyes open, but thought you guy's should know, Sorry Sky otter if I was suppose to put this into your CME thread you had created but Zorgon or someone else can replace it anywhere they see fit.

hey 1ww
absolutely no apologizing to me..pleaseee..
and thanks cause i missed this one...
i've been out at night watching the skies and trying like heck to figure what is flying around up there..planes are easy..satilites are gone from where they were..and motor noises without a visual
can be heard at the strangest of times
then as relief we just go watch the fire flies in the dark field..dang i wish i could photo them
the field is surrounded by trees and has no light pollution..very dark except that it pulses like a stobe with the ..what seems like milions of flashing lights from the fireflies
it's mesmerizing..
i wonder if the dme will affect those little critters..i'll have to pay closer attention

WEAK IMPACT: As expected, an interplanetary shock wave associated with the "double CME" of June 13-14 hit Earth's magnetic field today around 0900 UT. The impact was weak. The solar wind speed in the wake of the CME barely upticked to 400 km/s, and the impact did not trigger a geomagnetic storm.
