Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.5 Kermadec Islands*5.1 Mariana Islands*5.0 Philippines*5.0 Tonga ~ Pg 20444
On the whole I really don't care what people post here, but it seems lately this thread is full of political banter, which makes no sense to me when the majority of this site consists of political threads. At least 1/2 the pinned threads at any given time here are about politics, so why not take it there? And frankly, the negativity that has come with these posts is becoming difficult to bear. There is no tolerance for debate, it immediately turns to mud slinging and name calling. I have always stayed out if it by choice because I don't have a card in this game, and I am not here for politics. That is not why I landed as a regular on an EQ thread. But I personally do not want to be around that energy - any negative energy, for that matter. This is not my thread so I do not make the rules, but I for one get tired of the increasing negativity and divide in this world, so I certainly don't want to see it somewhere that I turn to for distraction and entertainment. I am not the only one who feels that way, based on recent discussions with others.

This thread has historically been the one "safe haven" where myself and many others have said they could escape all that and dive into our nerd obsessions with EQs, weather and science. Countless people have spoken of this thread in that manner - a place to avoid the hate that consumes the rest of this site. But as with everything else nowadays, it went from sharing occasional political comments, articles, and opinions to forcing personal opinions and arguing. Our OP herself will post political things, but never have Simple's posts come with any semblance of hate or intolerance. She allows for other opinions, so why can't everyone else? Why put Simple in the position to feel she has to police this thread or, in some cases, ban people for their behavior or comments? It IS possible to disagree with someone without spewing hate or name calling or BS flags. If people can find a way to return to that on this thread, I for one would greatly appreciate it. Because I appreciate this thread, I respect Simple, and I love the many things I've learned here from the many who participate in it.

LUNAR OCCULTATION OF VENUS: Tomorrow morning, June 19th, Venus and the crescent Moon are going to have a close encounter. Very close. In some parts of the world, the Moon will completely eclipse or "occult" the second planet. Amateur astronomer Odd Trondal of Oslo, Norway, filmed an almost identical lunar occultation of Venus 16 years ago, and this is what it looked like: [link to spaceweather.com (secure)]

"Don't forget to look again this Friday morning, if you can," urges Trondal.

In Europe, Friday's occultation takes place in broad daylight. Venus disappears at approximately 0800 UT and reappears an hour later. Exact times vary with location. Framed by blue sky, the occultation can be seen using binoculars or a small telescope. Both objects will be thin crescents, the Moon being 4% sunlit and Venus 8%, adding to the beauty of the event.

In Canada and the USA, some people can see the occultation just before sunrise. New England and the Canadian Maritimes are favored. As the Moon rises in the east-northeast, it will be hiding Venus behind it. Minutes later, Venus will emerge dramatically from behind the Moon's dark limb. A map from Sky&Telescope shows the prime occultation zone.

In western parts of North America, the event will be a near miss--no occultation, but a beautiful view nevertheless. "Way back in 1987, I witnessed a lunar occultation of Venus," recalls Victor C. Rogus, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. "It was, to this day one of the most memorable astronomical events I have ever witnessed!

Canada’s Power Grid at risk due to Space Weather

Canada needs to invest in more Space Weather services and research to mitigate potential significant impacts to the electrical power grid according to a new economic study.

That’s one of the findings in the Space Weather Socioeconomic Impact Study on Canadian Infrastructure study by Hickling Arthurs Low prepared for the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

The report was commissioned in 2017 and the report was presented to the CSA in March 2019 but was only recently released.

The study describes Space Weather as “the variations in the environment between the Sun and Earth and the phenomena that impact systems and technologies in space and on Earth.”

Interesting...look at the atmospheric electricity graph around the time of the NZ quake. Atmosphere very excited and spikes just prior, then a big dip and relative calm/flat afterwards

I wonder why they pinpoint Canada. Isn't our grid at risk also? Maybe theirs is in worse shape.
