Long Duration Event [LDE] STATUS: ECLIPSE IN PROGRESS

Conditions in the D-Region of the Ionosphere have a dramatic effect on High Frequency (HF) communications and Low Frequency (LF) navigation systems like Loran. The global D-Region Absorption Product depicts the D-region at high latitudes where it is driven by particles as well as low latitudes, where photons cause the prompt changes.

GROWING QUIET: The sun is quieting down as the last of the recent big sunspots, AR1169, rotates off the western limb. NOAA forecasters estimate a slight 1% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours.

Only a week ago, sunspot 1169 was squarely facing our planet. If the eruption had occurred then, we'd be expecting bright auroras and geomagnetic storms before the weekend. Instead, this CME will sail wide right of Earth with negligible effect. SUPER FULL MOON: On March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty will rise in the east at sunset. It's a super "perigee moon"--the biggest in almost 20 years. Get the full story from Science@NASA. http://www.spaceweather.com/

Perhaps then, the "Sun Going Dark" was a Higher Dimensional Operation to prevent an ELE X-Ray Flare and adjust Ole Sol in the doing ?

I don't know Merc but when this was directly over us (and I was totally unaware of it at the time) I felt like someone pulled the plug and had no energy. It was really surprising how tired I got.
