Good morning, Newdists. Did you see it? Did the sky wink at you in technicolor? Did you see the G5 geomagnetic storm? Alas, we have clouds.

Lets move on to the diary —

Your Cafe’s playful Elephant.

x Vaarti, party of one! (Volume up to hear his little victory trumpet at the end 🔔)

Vaarti has an incredible rescue story. Knowing he was an orphan & in dire need of help, a wild elephant collected Vaarti & delivered him to our Ithumba stockades: https://t.co/5KQdDPxgHd pic.twitter.com/tur4sjJHmc — Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (@SheldrickTrust) April 29, 2024

Solar Tsunami

First there were sun spots

And then -

x A SOLAR TSUNAMI: We are expecting wave after wave of coronal mass ejections to striking the Earth on 11th and 12th May. Solar wind speeds of about 800 km/s are possible. Strong and extended geomagnetic storms likely with aurora visible at lower-than-normal latitudes. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/QsirIk0SNY — Keith Strong (@drkstrong) May 10, 2024
