~ Space Weather Update~ A fast-moving (~600 km/s) stream of solar wind
SOLAR WIND: A fast-moving (~600 km/s) stream of solar wind is buffeting Earth’s magnetic field this weekend. Reports of high-latitude auroras are few, however, because of the nearly full Moon and midnight sun around the Arctic Circle. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on June 22nd. Aurora alerts: text, voice.
SOLSTICE FULL MOON: This weekend’s full Moon is a “supermoon,” as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2013. Even on Friday night, 36 hours before maximum illumination, the Moon already looked super:
David Hoffmann took the picture on June 21st from Ashland, Oregon. “The Moon will not be as close to Earth again until August 2014,” he says.
The scientific term for the phenomenon is “perigee moon.” Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon’s orbit. The Moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side (“perigee”) about 50,000 km closer than the other (“apogee”). Full Moons that occur on the perigee side of the Moon’s orbit seem extra big and bright.
On June 23rd, the Moon becomes full at 11:34 UT, only 23 minutes after it reaches perigee. This near-perfect coincidence makes the Moon “super.”
It’s true that a perigee full Moon brings with it extra-high “perigean tides,” but according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration this is nothing to worry about. In most places, lunar gravity at perigee pulls tide waters only a few centimeters (an inch or so) higher than usual. Local geography can amplify the effect to about 15 centimeters (six inches)–not exactly a great flood.
In other words, don’t worry. Just enjoy the super moonlight.
CHINESE SPACE STATION CROSSES THE SUN: Earlier this week in the sunny skies above the south of France, China’s experimental Tiangong-1 space station flew directly in front of the sun. Using a filtered 6-inch telescope, astrophotographer Thierry Legault recorded the station’s silhouette alongside big sunspot AR1775:
“I recorded two transits–one on June 16 and another on June 17th,” says Legault. “They show the Tiangong-1 with 3 taikonauts inside.”
Most readers are familiar with the 450-ton International Space Station. Fewer, perhaps, know about China’s 8.5-ton Tiangong-1 (Heavenly Palace-1). It was launched in Sept. 2011 to establish a foothold in Earth orbit for China’s fledgling space program. Tiangong-1 was briefly boarded by taikonauts (Chinese astronauts) in June 2012, and a second group is onboard now. Three Taikonauts arrived on June 13, 2013, on a 15-day mission to practice rendevous and docking maneuvers and to gain experience living in space. Their expedition is attracting little attention in Western press, but it is being widely followed in China. Earlier this week, more than 60 million students and teachers at 80,000 Chinese schools watched a live lecture by the crew of the Tiangong-1.
According to some reports, the Tiangong-1 will be de-orbited in late 2013 to make way for more advanced experimental stations, Tiangong-2 and Tiangong-3 in the years ahead. Ultimately, China hopes to place an Mir-class station in orbit by 2020.
See the Tiangong-1 before it goes! Spaceweather’s Simple Flybys app turns your smartphone into a field-tested space station tracker. It works for both the ISS and the Tiangong-1.

SOLSTICE SOLAR FLARE: The northern summer solstice began with a bang. On June 21st at 03:16 UT, sunspot AR1777 produced a long-duration M2-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the flare’s extreme ultraviolet flash and a plume of material flying out of the blast site:
As sunspots go, AR1777 is neither large nor apparently menacing, yet it has been crackling with flares for days. Before it rotated over the sun’s eastern limb on June 20th, it unleashed a series of farside flares and CMEs. The solstice explosion was not Earth directed, but future explosions could be as the sun’s rotation continues to turn AR1777 toward our planet. NOAA forecasters estimate a 30% chance of M-flares and a 5% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

Charles Buchanan I have also been studying the effects of high tech experiments as they relate to various cover ups and disasters over the last 15 years. I am also well known in this regard. you might like the theory I developed over 15 years ago and sent to many agencies.
charles
there are only two scenarios that are likely in the destruction of twa-800 and flight 26- alaska.
the first is the one I describe below for TWA-800
and the second is also one that relates to its possible intentional takedown by the usa govt under bill clintons watch.
the second involves the storage in the cockpit of unscreened box of medical? CORNEAS.
as one of my earliest emails and theories explained way back in 1997,these corneas might have been deadly virus that was to be used at some point in or over new york or france. the plane had to be intercepted over deep waters and shot down for national security reasons. no one is ever going to admit to this as it describes the same type of insurance and other culpability described in the info below.
the fact that investigators are finding that twa was hit or impacted by some type of force on the outside of the plane first is a clue.
they were experimenting with energy laser type weapons at this time to protect against short range missles off our usa coasts
one such theory is that a direct energy weapon was used to either target missles for future use or to use them to shoot down flight-800 deliberately due to an immediate terror virus threat to both usa or france.decision at the highest levels were made.
the same type of impact device(brilliant pebbles and other impact devices) most likely were to blame in hitting the rudder tail section of the flight 261 alaska airlines!
the fact that the original NTSB-CIA theory of an impact in flight 800 nose section brreaking it off from rest of fuselage is important. if indeed there was a deliberate takedown of plane due to virus threat onboard in cockpit they would have aimed for the nose section to destroy that virus in the air first and then let the residue sink to the bottom of the ocean. the fact that they took so long retrieving bodies from water and retrieving the flight recorders and the box of corneas tells the rest of the tale. connect the dots folks. also bill clinton was comeing up for re-election and he like present obama,did not want any waves created by either terrorism or a govt-DOE energy experiment gone wrong on his watch
sincerely,
