Description

A new solar storm has just hit Earth faster than expected, immediately after Earth experienced a G1/G2 geomagnetic storm, meaning we're preconditioned to experience more strong geomagnetic storming. The 4 astronauts of the Artemis II mission are now traveling to the Moon in Orion beyond the main protective sheath of Earth's magnetic field, only being loosely protected by the magnetotail, and radiation flux is already elevated nearly to storm levels. A new sunspot 4409 has grown rapidly over the last 36 hours and is exactly in the strike zone now, and I estimate there is an 80% chance it explodes with a high m-class to x-class solar flare today or tomorrow. All the while a sungrazing comet is rapidly accelerating towards the Sun and will perform its perihelion in ~24 hours on April 4th. The near-Earth space environment is becoming more hostile minute by minute, and the astronauts may be in for a bumpy (hopefully not dangerous) ride. Stefan Burns reports...

And just like that we're in a G3 geomagnetic storm from the unexpectedly fast solar storm impact... The NASA astronauts God bless them are in for a bumpy ride. They have dosimeters to track radiation and if it becomes problematic they'll do what they can to shield themselves from the extra solar plasma/radiation. The big wild card is our sungrazing comet. Hopefully it doesn't disturb the Sun in any significant way and trigger a big space weather event launched towards Earth. Thank you all and God bless - Stefan

I feel like there's so much happening right now and yet nothing at the same time. Why does it feel like some nonsensical high energy limbo?

Why would they go to space during what they know has been a very active prolonged storm? Makes no sense

Hell of a time to send astronauts up. We don't need that disaster/chaos/distraction in our country right now!

Stefon, you beautiful man. You do everyone a solid and your compassion for the Earth is compelling. Mostly, you care, we hear it so, thank you for your honesty and integrity.

Don't think we are headed to the moon, they headed off without any major fanfare. Smells fishy to me.

So Im not the only one who doesn't fully believe that there are astronauts in that rocket? I just don't believe anything anymore.
