@zachariastargazer Yes, it's a little concerning, in that regard, especially since it's now looking like at least two of the three resulting CME clouds may have merged. They are predicting up to a 7 K Index storm tomorrow, as a result. At the same time, though, I can't help but be psyched that we might actually get some pretty lights this way. :) Right now, they're dealing with a low-level radiation storm as a result of all of this, but nothing the ISS doesn't weather on a regular basis. Looking at the D-region absorption maps right now . . . Wow. Definitely active out there.
