CME and Geoeffective Wake 5th Feb 2022
The weak CME impact on Feb 1st was a little disappointing, but turbulence in its wake has proved to be a little more geoeffective, sparking aurora and creating a pair of G1 geomagnetic storms.
Here are my data, which span 1st Feb to 5th Feb and cover pretty much the whole event.
There's a stream of fast flowing solar wind which Earth is about to enter today, so there might be a chance of further aurora for those lucky enough to be in a suitable location to see them.
Thanks for looking.

After that little damp effort to start it has managed to create a bit more activity than we thought

Re: CME and Geoeffective Wake 5th Feb 2022
Thanks Mark and Alexandra.
Yea...the wake seemed more geoeffective than the CME impact. As Mark said, each one is different.

Hi,
Well done Sun, keep the storms coming so we get rid of the Starlink Space Junk from Elon Musk
Look at his article

I saw that yesterday on the BBC news and let off a cheer!!! go go Sun!!!! it gives us hope because that was just a minor blast compared to what we know our Sun can do

https://youtu.be/a7KUSN89-A0 shows a fantastic video of all (or most) of the space-junk/Starlink-rubbish re-entering and burning-up in the outer Earths' atmosphere...
Three minutes of pure delight, to see that valuable-waste of money, come crashing back towards where it was made...
Now maybe at least, a little of our night-sky and its' observers will be devoid of those little sillies...

Re: CME and Geoeffective Wake 5th Feb 2022
Thanks everyone.
It seems crazy that as a species we're investing billions on ever more sophisticated Earth based telescopes (ELT for example), yet at the same time billions are being spent filling space with junk that ruin their images. Go figure
I guess commerce wins.
