Just got the notice this afternoon so maybe you did not miss it and all that happened was I got there first

Could very well be in my Mail. Phil got a new cell phone and I had to set the whole thing up for him and transfer his photos from one phone to the other. And get rid of all the Apps he won't need on the phone...at least the ones that let you delete them....some you just shut off. Anyway....was a busy afternoon.

Indeed we are just getting the unneeded crap deleted and the ridiculous turned off on both of my phones.

Slowly ....

VENUS AND MERCURY: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look west. If you have a clear view of the horizon, you'll see Venus and Mercury beaming through the sunset. It's a beautiful view--and it's about to get even better. On March 18th the slender crescent Moon will join the bright planets for a must-see conjunction. Mark your calendar.

A GASH IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: A canyon-like hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and it is spewing a broad stream of solar wind toward Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is monitoring the structure:

This is a "coronal hole"--a region where the sun's magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. Coronal holes appear, in various shapes and forms, several times each month. This one is unusually wide, stretching more than 800,000 km across the face of the sun.

NOAA forecasters say there is a 55% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms when the solar wind stream arrives on March 14th or 15th. G1-class storms are relatively minor and have little effect on satellites and global power grids. However, they can disorient animals that migrate using magnetic cues at high latitudes and usually spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle.

As we say...Space is amazing...and the sun the most spectacular....

It's as if you could walk across the entire planet and never see anything that looks like everything else you've seen. It's so varied and fascinating!
