Musk is a douchebag and a KSR ripoff
* "To get around the problem, in 2017 Musk proposed solar storm shelters on the ships designed to double up as the first habitats"
* "Musk has repeatedly mooted a plan to heat up the planet and release stored carbon dioxide, citing a 1993 research paper as evidence it would work. He claims doing so would enable humans to walk around Mars with just a breathing apparatus."

            "Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid."

        * G5== avg ~4 days / solar cycle (K9)
    * K-index / Kp-value (G5==Kp9)

is now high, raising

WHERE CAN IT BE SEEN


HOW TO OBSERVE
* check space weather:
    → 🔗doomsday
* go out to a dark place
* look north, between 22-2am:
    "The best time to observe the northern lights is around midnight, when the auroral oval is typically farthest south and the sky is darkest."
    "4. Timing: Between 10pm and 2am local time is usually the best time to spot auroras, the prediction center said."
* """“Cellphones are much better than our eyes at capturing light,” Brent Gordon, chief of NOAA’s Space Weather Services Branch, said in a news conference Friday. “Just go out your back door and take a picture with a newer cellphone, and you’d be amazed at what you see in that picture versus what you see with your eyes.”"""
