Sunspots, Weather, Cosmic Dust, Go Outside
The last 24 hours on the Earth facing disc shows no sunspots, no plasma instability, no nothing really at all. The solar wind has stabilized and the Planetary K-index has dropped down off of the charts. There's not even an incoming coronal hole to worry about right now, so we shouldn't see too many magnitude 6+ earthquakes of volcanic eruptions for the next couple of days. There is a large bright spot coming around onto the Earth facing-disc and behind it is the next coronal hole. In about a day or so, we'll see whether this bright spot can keep it together against the Earth Facing Quiet and the solar minimum.
