Thanks for your reply, and I'm glad things are taking their course. I've heard similar stories, though I cannot say that I have a full opinion e.g. regarding the arXiv case etc. . In any case, I think persistency is required, balanced with your dedication on the subject and good collaborations...

hahaha ... point taken

I would focuss too on preliminary discussions, first, perhaps before you even made any other attempts; the/your first goal, in my opinion, would/should be (and I think you agree) to first establish whether what you're trying to do is even possible, meaningful (i.e. if it makes sense, e.g. in...

On Nov. 11, the storm reached severe G4 level, with Kp 8.67, and on Nov. 12, G2/G3, with Kp 7.33. Auroras were seen as south as [record breaking (?)] 13 degrees (e.g. El Salvador) ..., and the events these past days (including the ground event) were almost comparable to the May 11 & 12, 2024...

Nov. 12, 2025 THE STORM IS NOT OVER: Last night, auroras spread across the Americas as far south as El Salvador during a severe geomagnetic storm. The lights were seen in at least 45 US states. It could happen again tonight if another CME arrives, as expected. NOAA predicts more severe storming...

STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORMS PREDICTED: Solar activity is suddenly high with multiple X-class and strong M-class solar flares since Monday. At least three CMEs are expected to graze or directly hit Earth this week, potentially sparking strong geomagnetic storms on Nov. 6-7. Above: An...

Space Weather news for Wed Oct. 15, 2025 Multiple CMEs Could Spark Auroras This Week MULTIPLE CMEs ARE APPROACHING EARTH: As many as 3 CMEs are approaching Earth. According to a NOAA model, they could spark G2-class geomagnetic storms when they arrive on Oct. 16-17. High-latitude sky watchers...

For Sept. 15, 2025 STRONG EQUINOX STORM: Last night, a strong geomagnetic storm pushed auroras deep into the USA, with sightings as far south as Colorado and Arizona. This was an "equinox storm" enhanced by the Russell-McPherron effect. It won't be the last one. The season for such storms runs...

For Th Sept 11, 2025 GIANT BUTTERFLY-SHAPED HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE: A 500,000-km wide coronal hole has opened in the sun’s atmosphere, sending a stream of solar wind toward Earth. It could spark G1–G2 geomagnetic storms and auroras around Sept. 14th, enhanced by the Russell-McPherron...

[Fri Sept. 5, 2025] Also, another event, almost at the same time ... : AURORAS POSSIBLE DURING THE LUNAR ECLIPSE: Yesterday (Th Sept. 4), a 'sigmoid' on the sun exploded, a CME directly toward Earth. Its arrival on Sept. 7th could spark auroras during this weekend's total lunar eclipse...

Tue Sept. 2, 2025 1. " GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: A geomagnetic storm watch is in effect on Sept. 2nd as Earth passes through the wake of a CME that struck yesterday. Category G1 (Minor) storms are likely with a chance of escalating to category G2 (Moderate) or G3 (Strong). High-latitude sky...

After a few days of relative quiet, the Solar Activity intensifies once again, as large groups of big to huge sunspots make their way to the front side. A) Aug. 29, 2025 " MONSTER SUNSPOTS: A phalanx of large sunspots is facing Earth. They're so large, photographers are catching them in the...

Wed. Aug. 20, 2025 Solar Wind still elevated right now, with speed ~ e.g. 650.7 Km/sec ... " GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: The action started yesterday. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms broke out on Aug. 19th when Earth entered a fast-moving stream of solar wind. The action could intensify today...
