There's an interesting story on spaceweather.com about a CME impacting Mercury and the experiments on the Express spacecraft to observe it. We have gotten to the point that we're forecasting space weather on other planets now and are able to observe the results! Such a fascinating subject and LF is really a canary in the coal mine! 73 Scott On 9/9/2011 2:54 PM, Alan Melia wrote: > Hi Scott, probably not quite that long, the ring current is fairly depleted > so my guess is 7 to 10 days, but watch the Dst as it climbs back.
