Protip: a coronal mass ejection is not only an event after you've consumed too many Mexican lagers.

Interested in cancer genetics? Don't want to fly somewhere to here about it? Next week the American Society of Human Genetics is having an online-only digital symposium on cancer genetics.

I think it's also worth up to 6 #CME credits if you do continuing medical education.

An X1.1 flare erupted from a new active region on the east limb, peaking at 15h20 UT 28 Mar (not 15h35 UT as previously stated).

After 1.5 hours the XRay flux is still above M-level, but is falling. The flare appears to be a filament eruption.

An R3 radio blackout affected the Caribbean, Central America and northern S America.

10cm, type II and type IV radio emissions and a coronal mass ejection were observed.

This flare marks the end of couple of fairly quiet weeks on the sun!

A Carrington Level Event today would pretty much plunge the entire planet into full auto-destruct mode.

A Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun is predicted to impact Earth within the next hour.

Sadly it is daylight and cloudy here but you Northern hemisphere folks may have better luck.

The nice thing about the expansion of diagnostic panels for respiratory pathogens is that even those who did not read the CDC EPIC study back in 2015 can now clearly appreciate the number of people who get to see the inside of a hospital/ICU from the sniffles "rhinovirus". #CME

While another solar wind stream is heading for Earth today, a solar storm last year demonstrated that even smaller solar events are something to worry about. The Gannon storm in May was formed when dozens of solar flares sent at least five coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. Those CMEs merged creating a major event. Researchers estimate the Gannon storm caused at least $500 million in losses for farmers alone. https://spacenews.com/solar-flares-in-may-2024-revealed-earths-vulnerability-to-space-weather/
