Magnetic storms

September 12th through 14th

Particles may increase

The American national oceans and atmosphere bunch in the United States are calling for a magnetic storm 12th September through 14th. Should give some skyscapes weather permitting in your area.

Viewing and Watching for Magnetic Storms on September 12th-14th
Unfortunately, you cannot directly “view” a magnetic storm. They are invisible to the naked eye and are primarily detected by scientific instruments. However, you can stay informed about their occurrence and potential impacts through various channels:
1. Solar Weather Prediction Sites:
* Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC): This is the official US government source for space weather forecasts and alerts. They provide detailed information about expected solar activity and potential geomagnetic storms.
* Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO): This NASA spacecraft provides real-time images of the Sun, allowing you to see solar flares and other events that can lead to magnetic storms.
2. News Outlets:
* Science and Technology News Websites: Many news outlets, especially those focusing on science and technology, will report on significant solar events and their potential impacts.
* Local News: If a magnetic storm is expected to have a significant impact on your region (e.g., affecting power grids or satellite communications), local news outlets will likely provide updates.
3. Social Media:
* NASA and Space Weather Experts: Follow organizations like NASA, NOAA, and space weather experts on social media for timely updates and information.
Remember: Magnetic storms can affect technology and infrastructure, so it’s always a good idea to be prepared. This might include having a backup power source or knowing your local emergency plans.
Would you like to know more about the potential impacts of magnetic storms or how to prepare for them?

Stars do more than twinkle they produced elements in the furnace of fusion and according to the second law of thermal Dynamics  heat goes to cold chaos to order.

So, as SH says you are  elemental Watson. (Paraphrase). Have fun you Atoms.

Super Moon Monday

Coming Full Moon August 19 2024, File photo KDG

Super Bluemoon 2:26 PM EDT 11:26 Pacific , moon will appear full for about five days either side of full. Super moons are closer to the earth and have effects on weather and tides .

Mars,

Spacex is a private contractor brought along by NASA to commercially provide service to space projects and development. The company is involved with the Artimas return to the moon program that will send  four people back to the moon and have two of them land.

The view that we cannot rely on the earth to preserve our species existence drives  Spacex through its founder Elon Musk. The view  is strengthened by many nations taking it for strategic purposes that would result in permanent occupation of the moon and it  used as a base to do the same on Mars.

This is incredibly expensive and dangerous . The view that we would be better served making earth a better cared for and safer place is mitigated slightly by the advance of science involved in space exploration.

Test flight number five, Starship…

The July full moon, known as the Buck Moon or Thunder Moon, is associated with attributes of strength, courage, and transformation. This full moon is believed to bring about a sense of determination and focus, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with resilience and tenacity. Additionally, it is thought to carry energies of release and renewal, making it an opportune time for letting go of negativity and embracing positive change. Overall, the Buck Moon is said to inspire confidence and a proactive approach to challenges. Generated.

Good luck

To observe the night sky, first find a location away from city lights to reduce light pollution. Then, allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Use a star chart or a stargazing app to identify constellations, planets, and other celestial objects. Consider using a telescope or binoculars for a closer view, and be patient as your eyes adapt to the dark. Happy stargazing!

Babylon

The city of Babylon, with its rich history and cultural significance, has long been associated with eclipses. In ancient Babylon, eclipses were often interpreted as omens or signs from the gods, and they played a significant role in religious and societal beliefs. Babylonian astronomers were among the first to record and predict lunar and solar eclipses, laying the foundation for future civilizations’ understanding of these celestial events.

The Babylonian practice of using eclipse omens for decision-making highlighted the intersection of astronomy, religion, and governance in their society, and their observations continue to contribute to modern astronomical studies. Eclipses held a profound symbolic and practical importance in Babylon, shaping both individual beliefs and administrative decisions.

The link between Babylon and eclipses serves as a fascinating lens through which we can explore the intersection of ancient belief systems, astronomy, and governance.

TGIF Entropy

Why we work

Entropy, heat goes to cold.

Entropy is a concept from thermodynamics that measures the amount of disorder or randomness in a system. In simple terms, it refers to the tendency of systems to move from a state of order to a state of disorder. This concept is closely related to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. In practical terms, entropy is often associated with the amount of energy in a system that is not available to do work.

Snow moon coming February 24th

Micro moon 🌝

This full moon will be a micro moon. That means it’ll be the furthest away but it generally is and it’s orbit and not close to the Earth so a little moon goes a long way.We hope.

Full Moon on February 24th, 2024 🌕

The full moon on February 24th, 2024 will be a special one – it will be a micro moon! This means that it will be at its furthest point from the Earth in its orbit. Despite its distance, a little moon can still illuminate the night sky beautifully. Don’t miss this unique celestial event!

Weather permitting…

Here’s howling at you

On January 25th, 2024, there will be a special event in the night sky – the Wolf Moon, which marks the first full moon of the year. This celestial occurrence is known as the “Wolf Moon” and carries cultural and historical significance. It’s a great opportunity to witness the beauty of nature and gaze at the mystical night sky. Keep an eye out for this captivating astronomical event! 🌕✨ Ai

Weather permitting…

At this writing would have already occurred at 12:54 p.m. eastern time, however NASA says it will appear full for 3 days from Wednesday. Happy viewing weather permitting another celestial event brought to you by universe physics.
