Well, at about 3 pm we had a good hit. bZ -5 nT. Aurora is absolutely viewable on camera at that level. But, it’s now not 3 pm. In fact, it can be none more 3 pm. I’m usually functioning in about three different time modalities, so- maybe it’s a moment to discuss Universal Time, […]

Welcome to the new universal day! A minor substorm is underway, with readings fluctuating just on either side of the line between what is negative and what is positive- which, frustratingly, NOAA often denotes as -0. They don’t always. But it does happen, and if you read ACE data, coming through on the old DISCOVR […]

Most places are still in clouds. A minor substorm is underway, very weak activity possible over the next hour. Strongest portion of the storm was about a half hour ago. I was availing myself of a nap, it being cloudy.  Current reading:

Welcome to the New Universal Day, 00:08 UTC. Also “Z.” Or “Zulu” time. I don’t know if the military still calls it Zulu though. But, if you get the NOAA bulletin updates, they are in “Z” time. Which is exactly the same as UTC. There is a small substorm brewing, but it will probably not […]

Welcome to the New Universal Day! Star Date 00:13 UTC, August 24, 2025. A substorm is brewing, but in the hovering around the zero demarcation variety. Low Energy Protons ramped up about an hour ago, but have since fallen off. Possible sightings on camera after it’s completely dark, but it will be weak. We can’t […]
