METERORITES, FLY-BY ASTEROIDS, AND SOLAR WIND STREAMS

Unsettled geomagnetic conditions as Earth passes through solar wind stream
A weak interplanetary shock was registered by ACE spacecraft at 10:58 UTC on February 16, 2013. This event is not expected to bring widespread geomagnetic disturbances, however, it sparked aurora displays at very high latitudes. The Kp index is currently at 4, very close to minor geomagnetic storm level. Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse was observed at 12:10 UTC on February 16, 2013 with 10 nT Bz fluctuation.   ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 4 Threshold Reached: 2013 Feb 16 1730 UTC Synoptic Period: 1500-1800 UTC Active Warning: Yes Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 65 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents –...

Our ever-changing world includes our ever-changing atmosphere.  There is a lot of activity in the Heavens lately.  Some say we are passing through a part of the Milky Way Galaxy that is littered with debris; some call it a dark rift which has a rather ominous sound to it, but God is in control and has a purpose for everything so there are no worries, only awe of our mighty God who has the power to shake the heavens and the earth.   There's a coronal hole on the sun that is almost constantly allowing solar wind to escape. The sun directly affects activity on earth and we are seeing a lot of activity on earth in the way of floods, earthquakes in diverse places and an increase in volcanic eruptions. 

Keep looking up for there is lots to watch, and wait for.
      Good things are always worth waiting for. 

Jude 1:21  Keep yourselves in the love of God; looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
