CME: Watch for Aurorae

Space Weather News for Oct. 2, 2024
https://spaceweather.com
https://www.spaceweatheralerts.com

X7-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: An Earth-facing sunspot exploded on Oct 1st (2220 UT), producing the second-strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25. The X7.1-category blast caused a shortwave radio blackout over Hawaii and hurled a CME into space. The CME could reach Earth and cause geomagnetic storms later this week. Updates @ Spaceweather.com.

Special Announcement

I’m thrilled to announce the release of my and my son Nathaniel’s Sci-Fi novel
“Tragedy of a Shapeshifter” (Available on Amazon).

This book has been in the works for several years and is the by-product of a script for a TV series that we worked on together.

As a bonus, Nathaniel composed original music for several of his songs in the book,
and in honour of the book’s release, uploaded a clip of his song “Still Me” to YouTube.

Hear him sing: https://youtu.be/cP5Nxvlk180?si=074b1U1ocFJRHX7T.

And here is a link to the book “Tragedy of a Shapeshifter” on Amazon: https://a.co/d/fqOLOkk
