EARTHQUAKES

SPACE WEATHER

  • Had a M5 solar flare from Sunspot 1884 which has strengthened and is now regarded as a threat for M-class or X-class flares. 1887 is developing also. 1890 in the SE limb is a monster...going to be interesting to see what it does when it rotates into Earth's view.
  • NASA ENLIL is showing a glancing CME hitting Earth mid-week.
