Solar Wind The ever-present expansion of the Sun’s hot outer atmosphere into the solar system, which carries space weather within it. Starting in 2015, Chris attended the Computer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas for five years running. At CES 2018, he broke the news about Kodak's "KashMiner" Bitcoin mining scheme with a viral tweet. A wave of negative publicity ensued, with coverage on BuzzFeed News, CNBC, the BBC, and TechCrunch. The company's project was later reportedly shut down by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Disk space is stored internally in bytes - not very useful, so I use number_format() to convert to Gigabytes (proper base 1024 ones ) rounded to two decimal places. You can adjust the number of decimal places by changing the number after the comma.

You can only disable these low disk space messages by changing a setting in the Windows Registry. This is a system-wide change, so Windows won't warn you about low disk space on any of your drives after you change it. Filament Eruption An eruption of solar plasma (i.e. ions and electrons) associated with the upward movement of solar magnetic field lines into the corona. Filaments are usually dark against the bright solar disk but can appear bright (as 'erupting prominences') on the limbs of the Sun against the darkness of space. Filaments are often associated with CMEs Similarly the disk space critical alert will trigger if there is <1GB free and the disk is >=95% full. So for a 20GB or larger drive less than 1GB of free space would trigger this alert but for a drive smaller than 20GB it would need to be 95% or more full. Solar flares are the sudden releases of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. They are hard to predict, and the energy can be detected in Earth's atmosphere as soon as 8.5 minutes after the occurrence of a solar flare.Primarily intended for 4 or 5 players. 1-3 players is possible within the rules, but far less fun/interesting. The game offers several difficulty levels, huge variability and a unique experience for one to five player teams. One mission lasts only about 30 minutes, including setup and evaluation. Solar Activity:Activity has been Low, with only a number of C-class flares, the most energetic of these from the large and magnetically complex region in the southeast quadrant. This is one of eleven sunspot regions on the visible disc, with a number of moderately sized regions. In addition there is a proliferation of simple unipolar regions.

Cancellation may be issued when either actual or forecast space weather conditions change to such an extent that the forecaster considers a watch or a warning is no longer valid. Type Space Alert is a cooperative survival designer board game created by Vlaada Chvátil in 2008. [1] Players assume the roles of space explorers on a mission to survey the galaxy. The crew is evaluated on teamwork and how they deal with problems that arise on their journey. Unlike most board games, in Space Alert, players need to make decisions and play cards in real time. It was given a special prize for "New Game Worlds" in the 2009 Spiel des Jahres awards.

Those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland have the best chance if the weather is favourable. CME or Coronal Mass Ejection The eruption of a portion of the outer atmosphere of the Sun into space, caused by rapid changes in its magnetic field. Often occurs along with a solar flare. The most recognisable and visible space weather effect is arguably the auroras (Northern and Southern Lights). However, as well as these spectacular natural phenomena, space weather also represents a real threat and can have an impact upon national infrastructure, technology, and communications systems. In addition to his extensive writing experience, Chris has been interviewed as a technology expert on TV news and radio shows. He gave advice on dark web scans on Miami's NBC 6, discussed Windows XP's demise on WGN-TV's Midday News in Chicago, and shared his CES experiences on WJR-AM's Guy Gordon Show in Detroit.

A CME is the ejection of material from the Sun into interplanetary space. If the material is directed towards the Earth then the event may result in a disturbance to the Earth's magnetic field and ionosphere. Chris Hoffman is the former Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek.
