Good Morning Observers. We start with Ben's video.

CME hit very slightly. Did not do anything but bring the Kp index off the floor. Mercury comes out from behind the sun. Have not found an explanation for the 'streaks" and tilted camera on CCOR1 on the new CCOR2 or LASCO camera's
Very quiet on the sun. Lake Mead and lake power continue to drop below historic lows.
Silver surged and has now fallen. Good day to get some. Spruce Pine, North Carolina, set to be the epicenter for 10 trillion in mining.











NEWS: Spruce Pine, North Carolina, USA is to become the epicenter of 10 Trillion dollars of mining. Silicone quartz crystals there are exceptionally pure. Purity is needed for the next generation of silicone wafers. So far there is no substitute. Those thinking of relocating near Grandfather mountain may want to take note.

From A.I.
The "cold blob" (also called the North Atlantic warming hole) is a large patch of ocean south of Greenland and Iceland that has cooled by nearly 1 degree Celsius since 1900 while the rest of the global ocean warms. [1, 2]

What Causes the Cold Blob?

• • Weakening Currents: Recent studies show the anomaly is driven by a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a giant ocean conveyor belt that moves warm water from the tropics north toward Europe. [1, 2, 3]
  • Melting Ice: As global temperatures rise, melting ice from the Greenland Ice Sheet dumps massive amounts of fresh water into the North Atlantic. [1, 2]
  • Less Sinking: Fresh water is less dense than salty water, preventing warm water from sinking and disrupting the circulation loop that delivers heat to the region

Rocket launch successful. 3 month trip to put it on station at Lagrange point 2, 1 million miles behind the earth with the James webb telescope. They better not collide.

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a next-generation infrared observatory designed to unlock the secrets of cosmic expansion, dark energy, and exoplanets. Named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief astronomer and the "Mother of Hubble", the $4.3 billion flagship mission is scheduled to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Cente

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Coronagraph Instrument functions like a high-tech car visor, blocking out a star's blinding glare so scientists can see the faint planets orbiting around it. You know how CCOR1 blocks out just the sun so we can see solar flares around it, well this does that for other stars. It can look where James Webb can not.
