Solar storm analysis carried out by an army of citizen scientists has helped researchers devise a new and more accurate way of forecasting when Earth will be hit by harmful space weather.

I do so love history.
Do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s our nightly Open Thread, and you have the floor.
To the tune of “I Will Survive”:
Sure, you are afraid
You are petrified
Kept thinking you could never give
Enough to Antifa on your side
But then you’ve spun so many rights
Thinking they’re so many wrongs
You grew strong
By learning how to get along
And groped my back
No personal space
I just walked in to find you here
With an odd smile on your face
We should have changed our stupid laws
We should have made you leave your seat
If we’d thought for just one second
You’d be backed by Mayor Pete
Go on, now, Joe! Walk out the door!
Just leave that basement
‘Cause you’re not hiding anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt with all your lies?
Did you think Trump would crumble?
Did you think he’d lay down and die?
Oh no, nut-guy
He will survive
As long as I know tit from tat
I know he’ll stay alive
He’s got all your life to rock
He’s got all your lies to mock
And he’ll survive
He will survive (heh heh)
It takes all the strength you have
Not to fall downstairs
Keep trying hard to fend
Off investigations of your broken heirs
And you spent oh so many nights
Feeling sorry for yourself
They used your lies
Now they hold you up on high
On ABC
Somebody knew
All those massaged-up little girls?
Well, that’s just you being you
And when you felt like dropping trow
When Secret Service had to watch
Relax, they’re saving all their outrage
For if Trump refers to crotch
Go on, now, Joe! Come take the floor!
Just turn around your views:
‘Cuz, you’re not for fracking anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break him with the FBI?
Did he crumble?
Did he lay down and die?
Oh no, nutjob
He did survive
He did survive
Heh, heh . . . .

A woman in Mississippi received a slithering surprise when she got home from work last week: a snake that had been lodged on top of her front door landed on her head.
The encounter happened after the intruder made its way on top of Christina Mitchell’s door on Thursday, the Enterprise-Journal reported. “I felt this thump on my head,” Mitchell said. “I looked down and the snake had landed at my feet in the house.”
The newspaper reports the 10-inch (25-centimeter) serpent then darted to the kitchen while Mitchell called her husband to let him know about their new visitor. But she didn’t wait for help. She grabbed a broom and ushered the reptile out of her house in McComb, a city located about 80 miles (127 kilometers) south of Jackson. “He did his striking pose because it was just a scared little rat snake,” Mitchell said. “He tried to bite at my broom whenever I put him outside.”

If real, the only things we learned from Trump’s tax returns are – Americans can have no expectation of privacy, our government is totally corrupt, and many bureaucrats are completely biased political operatives.
During a portion of an interview on MSNBC [9/26/20], Biden appeared to need [host Stephanie] Ruhle’s help to remember what he was talking about.
“For example, the Paycheck Protection Act, you know, one percent of the money’s gone out,” Biden claimed. “One percent. One percent of the, uh, the—that’s not the Paycheck, the, the, the, um, uh, the, uh, the bill for small, for major, for small businesses—”
“Mainstream lending,” Ruhle interjected.
“Mainstream lending, one percent’s gone out,” Biden continued.
