May '17 Geomagnetic Summary

Post by Carbon60 » Sat Jun 10, 2017 7:22 am

Better late than never. Here's a summary of geomagnetic activity throughout May.

The most significant event was a CME impact on May 28th which sparked a G3 solar storm and aurorae down to lower latitudes.

Thanks Stu! That pattern of coronal holes we had a while a go seems to have dissipated now.
