Hard to compete with the poop thread but here goes..

Interested in space weather? This site will keep you busy for hours.

http://prop.hfradio.org/

I check it daily for HF propagation forecasts but alot of interesting info and theory there.

I don't know what to do with about 90% of that information but the propagation forecasts and models are great

I wish I'd had that site back when I actually had to deal with such things, but it's still interesting now.

Honestly I am about the same, I just check the propagation forecast which is always normal or fair/normal

and to watch the sunspots roll around.

Its about freakin time we saw some sunspots...

Space has weather? I thought weather was like sound. There has to be a measuable medium in which it can travel. But I am not very bright. I voted Hope and Change. LOL

There is a real time solar wind gauge there... check it out

After looking at some of the charts, I think I'll try to draw a comparison between solar activity, the magnetosphere, and global mean temperatures. It may be nothing, but I could swear I see some correlations with temperature charts.

I've had that theory for a while. I think it helps explain the current ice age conditions are Mars, much like its theorized that increased temperatures on Earth will cause one.

Why the yawn?

No this is the Astrophysics and Stellar Cartography department. Philosophy is down the hall- look for all the hippies and people in togas...

The Space Hippies from the Philosophy Department will show you to the lift.

I guess I don't get it.

perhaps Sir, can understand the sleepy situation, there seems to be more upward, which fits on a different date
