Tulsi Gabbard is spot on about dangers posed by Ukraine biolabs. Stopping their destruction & spread of deadly pathogens is important, but raises questions of why they are there in the first place. What else is hidden in Ukraine that sparked Russia's intervention? Space Arks?

A BIG CRACK IN EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD: For an hour on March 13th, a big crack opened in Earth's magnetic fieldโone of the biggest in years. (For specialists: BsubZ was less than -20 nT.) Solar wind poured through the gap, adding its energy to that of the CME which struck earlier in the day. This increases the chances that high-latitude auroras may remain visible at least through the early hours of March 14th. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.
CME IMPACT SPARKS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: As predicted, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field on March 13th. The impact sparked a moderately strong G2-class geomagnetic storm. When the CME arrived, "the sky exploded," reports John Dean, who sends this picture from Nome, Alaska:
"I was out from 2:30 am until sunrise," says Dean. "The coronas (auroras that seem to fall from overhead like rain) were phenomenal."
The timing of the CME's impact was unfortunate for many aurora photographers. Europe and much of North America were daylit when the storm cloud arrived. Dark skies were positioned mainly over the Pacific Ocean and western parts of North America.
What next? Geomagnetic storms could persist through March 14th as Earth passes through the CME's wake. If so, many photographers who missed the CME's arrival may get a second chance. Stay tuned for updates. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.
