MAGNIFICENT CME: Earlier today, an unusually slow solar flare hurled a magnificent CME into space. The explosion and its afterglow lasted nearly 8 hours. The CME could sideswipe Earth’s magnetosphere later this week, producing minor geomagnetic storms. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
Don’t miss the next solar flare: Subscribers to our Space Weather Alert Service receive instant text messages when strong solar flares are underway.

This is our meeting-closing post.
We’d like to thank Kofi, Keith, and Cathy for their contributions to today’s programming, as well as all supporting contributors to this afternoon’s e-meeting. We would not be able to put on these virtual meetings without your efforts!
And of course, to those who visited with us today, and took in our online get-together, thank you for your interest and attention, and don’t forget to comment!
We sincerely hope you have enjoyed your time with us these past few hours, we again thank you for dropping in, and we ask that you pop in regularly here at www.MonSFFA.ca for additional content. Check, too, for any updates as to our imminent return to regular, face-to-face meetings.
We will finally meet face-to-face for the first time in much too long! We gather at the Exporail train museum, 110 rue Saint-Pierre, Saint-Constant, QC, J5A 1G7, at 12:00PM on Saturday, June 18, for our first club field trip in over two years!
Details were just now finalized during our ZOOM chat; we’ll put those particulars up on the site post-meeting.
This is Post 7 of 8.
On ZOOM at this moment, we’re asking “What are You Reading, or Watching?” Give us your quick book report, or your brief review of a film or TV show you’ve recently been enjoying!
For those not participating in our ZOOM chat, today, you may still contribute by submitting your concise book reports or movie and television-series reviews via this post’s “Leave a Comment” option. We welcome your input.
