Good morning Observers !!! Start with Ben's video

Yesterday's CME delivered more than expected due to earth's weakening magnetic field.
We hit KP6 and G3 storm when G2 was predicted.
No major earthquakes. 5.3. HF communications were quiet during the storm.


WAS THAT A CANNIBAL CME? A dense CME hit Earth on Oct. 10th. It was so dense, it might have actually been two CMEs. The technical term is "Cannibal CME." This is when a fast CME overtakes and "snowplows" a slower CME in front of it. Two closely-spaced CMEs left the sun last week; they may have merged en route to Earth.

When the suspected Cannibal struck on Oct. 10th, the plasma density around Earth jumped 10-fold to more than 100 protons/cc. The weighty blow caused an explosion of auroras around the Arctic Circle:

"The colors were visible to the naked eye--simply stunning!" says photographer Karsten Berger of Levi, Finland. "Even rare blue auroras were present."
