Prominence Eruption
February 8, 2022 @ 11:00 UTC
A large prominence that had been hanging around the southeast limb the past several days finally erupted. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is seen leaving the Sun and so far it looks to be headed away from Earth.

Geomagnetic Storm Watch Added
February 8, 2022 @ 00:50 UTC
NOAA/SWPC upgraded their geomagnetic forecast to include the possibility of minor (G1) storming beginning late on February 9th when a CME is expected to pass Earth. More updates will be added whenever necessary.

Filament Eruption and CME
February 7, 2022 @ 01:05 UTC
Good evening. Solar activity during the past 24 hours was technically speaking at low levels, although a filament seen here that was located near AR 2939 erupted on Sunday beginning around 09:00 UTC (Feb 6). This event generated a faint halo coronal mass ejection (CME) that is likely heading towards Earth. A minor impact to our geomagnetic field is predicted sometime on February 9th. Geomagnetic storming is not currently in the forecast, however active (Kp4) conditions should be expected. Aurora sky watchers at higher latitudes should be alert during the next 72 hours.

Elsewhere, AR 2936 rotated onto the west limb and out of directed view. Both AR 2940 and 2941 will remain a threat for at least minor C-Class solar flares during the next 24 hours.

The Philadelphia Experiment – What’s the Real Story?

  The Philadelphia Experiment – What’s the Real Story? The Philadelphia Experiment is an event during 1943 in which the United States Navy purportedly teleported a Navy destroyer escort, the USS Eldridge (DE 173), from Philadelphia to Norfolk. They also made it invisible – as in, to the naked eye. Most people believe the incident was either a hoax or the ravings of a lunatic, however, some still believe that it may have really occurred and that there is a large conspiracy to cover it up. What is interesting is that the tale of the Philadelphia Experiment has made it into the annals of American legend. So, what’s the real story? USS Eldridge. Source: Wikimedia Commons. The Philadelphia Experiment The story of the Philadelphia Experiment begins in October of 1943 in Norfolk, Virginia, though the story did not turn up until more than ten years later. Purportedly, some men aboard the SS Andrew Furuseth saw a ship spontaneously appear in the water in Norfolk on October 28. The story goe...

The Pentagon Just Confirmed the First-Ever Interstellar Visitor to Earth

  ©   Pete Saloutos - Getty Images A meteor that crashed into the South Pacific in 2014 was recently confirmed to have origins outside our Solar System. T he United States Space Command (USSC) has confirmed a 2014 study from a team of astronomers, noting that government sensors did, in fact, detect a meteor on Earth that originated outside our Solar System. The rock is only the third   interstellar   object ever detected in our system, and the first to enter our atmosphere. After scientists publish their research on this   meteoric   discovery, they may be able to learn more about its contents. Government   sensors   on the hunt for fireballs plunging toward Earth have so far logged about 1,000 meteors and   asteroids . But only one of them can boast that it traveled through our atmosphere from outside our own Solar System. This fireball, which shot through our atmosphere over Papua New Guinea in 2014, was no ordinary space rock—it was actual...

  A rocket part could collide with the moon in the next few weeks By Katie Hunt, CNN - 4h ago Follow React 5 Comments | 14 Listen to this article A rogue rocket booster could collide with the moon in the next few weeks, according to space experts, an event that could leave a crater on the far side of the moon. © Laurent Emmanuel/AFP/Getty Images A photo taken on May 13, 2019, shows a view of the moon from Cannes, southern France. The SpaceX Falcon rocket stage was used in 2015 to launch the  US Deep Space Climate Observatory, or DSCOVR  and has been floating around in the outer part of the Earth-moon system ever since. Bill Gray, an independent researcher focused on orbital dynamics who was the first to publicize the imminent collision, said by his calculations the rocket part would hit the moon a bit north of its equator "within a minute" of 7.26 a.m. ET on March 4. The way the object is moving makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact location, he added, a...
