Poochie’s Weather

This weekend it’s going to be considerably less warm and sunny, than last weekend. Although, it will warm up Friday, don’t let that fool you.

Another front will come in this weekend along with thunderstorms and showers. Both Saturday and Sunday, there’s a chance of rain. Blehh.

Saturday: High-72 Low-53

Sunday: High- 63 Low-49.

Bummer.

Atleast the Sun provides entertainment. The video of the Coronal Mass Ejection that was posted last week, has a before video. This video is the motion the prominence made within just 17 minutes. A prominence iss simply a strand or eruption of high density gas, that lingers on the edge of the sun. This is what was ejected in the video that was posted last week. I have to admit this video isn’t as cool as the one from before, but check it out.

Hope you’ve had a great weekend, enjoying the warm weather.

Tomorrow and Tuesday temps will be in the upper 80’s, with a cool down on Wednesday and Thursday along with showers and thunderstorms.

The sunspot I mentioned on the last post caused 2 Coronal Mass Ejections (CME). If these CMEs were headed for earth they would surely cause havoc. Luckily they aren’t. Check out these cool videos of the actual ejection; movie, movie2.   

<>And the livins’ easy. This weekend will include your first glimpse at summer. Temperatures will rise rapidly between tomorrow and Saturday.

Thursday- 60 degrees.

Friday- 74 degrees.

Saturday- 80 degrees!!

Sunday- 83 degrees.

I look forward to a badmitton filled weekend.

<>In astronomy news…

A 25 day streak of no spots on the sun (on the side facing us) was ended yesterday. One tiny little spot formed and the upper right part of the sun, and now it is quickly fading away.

The reason astronomers keep such a watchful on sun spots is because they are the biggest cause of CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections). The CME is a plasma ejection consisting of electrons and protons. These electrons and protons if strong enough, and if in large quantities enough could really mess up every technological aspect of our life. Currently we are at the minimun of our Solar Cycle.
