GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Earlier today, the outskirts of a CME previously
expected to miss Earth instead hit. The impact sparked a G2-class
geomagnetic storm and bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. At the
time this alert is being written, the storm is still in progress. Visit
Spaceweather.com for updates.
AVIATION RADIATION EXPERIMENT: En
route to observe the March 9th total eclipse in Indonesia, the students
of Earth to Sky Calculus conducted an unusual experiment in aviation
radiation. Their plane flew a great circle around the Pacific Ocean,
skirting the Arctic Circle and crossing the equator in a relatively
short period of time. This allowed them to take a snapshot of onboard
cosmic radiation doses over a wide range of latitude. Visit
Spaceweather.com for results.
