One look at a Great Comet and you can pretty reliably say if it is a Kreutz sungrazer.
Why do we get excited when there is a discovery of a Kreutz comet? Because with few exceptions Kreutz comets that were discovered with ground-based telescopes (not spacecraft like SOHO) became spectacularly bright, with long tails. Many of them became Great Comets. In fact, a

Last night’s moderate #SolarFlare likely released more energy than the majority of larger X-class events. Why? Flare classifications are determined by the flare’s *peak* emission. Although last night’s flare capped at an M3 level, it continued releasing energy for over 12 hours!

Sadly, this is the first year at the commemoration ceremony at Pearl Harbor that no Pearl Harbor survivor has attended. We have lost so many over the past few years and as few as 12 remain living today. From one generation to the next. Remember Pearl Harbor. Remember those lost.

WOW! For the moment, we have reached G5-level storm conditions. Not as strong as the Gannon Storm of May 10-11, 2024, but this #solarstorm is packing a punch! We still have two more yet to go, so let's hope we get a small break between them to allow the power grids a rest!

The Chicago National Weather Service (NWS) issued a significant statement regarding an intense lake effect snow event. In over a decade, this is the strongest wording I have seen from them. It's rare for us to experience a north or northwest flow that results in lake effect snow

A whole train of big #solarstorms are on their way, along with some smaller storms hitting now, and some fast solar wind! It is an #aurora photographers dream starting now and lasting at least through the weekend. Right now, the biggest of the storms should hit late Thursday or

Wyden: Here is what it says: Treasury's Epstein file details… 4,725 wire transfers. Let me repeat that. 4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein's bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines

Do you know how *hard* it is in survey research to find something that 0% of Americans will agree with? You can reliably find a couple percent saying the world is run by secret lizard-people. (Link to survey in reply)
