AS PREDICTED, A GEOMAGNETIC STORM: We predicted a G2-class geomagnetic storm this weekend, and it happened. The question is, why? At least one CME was supposed to hit Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 2nd. Yet solar wind data show no clear signs of a CME impact. Whatever the reason for the storm, it sparked mid-latitude auroras in the USA.
"Last night was absolutely epic!!" says Ethan Hohnke, who sent this picture from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore near Empire, Michigan.
"Northern lights could be seen dancing over the waters of Lake Michigan before the bright Moon rose," says Hohnke. "I was standing near the 45th parallel when I took this picture."
The lights spread even farther south than that. Photographers captured the red glow of atomic-oxygen auroras in Colorado (+38.9N) and Missouri (+38.6N). In these southernmost photographs, auroras were not visible to the naked eye, but easily recorded by cameras and cell phones with nighttime exposure settings.
Back to the origin of the storm: It is possible that a CME arrived on Sept. 2nd, but its weak impact was masked by a chaotic stream of solar wind already blowing around Earth at the time. At this time of year, even weak CMEs do a good job sparking auroras--a result of the Russell-McPherron effect which boosts geomagnetic activity around the equinoxes. Aurora alerts: SMS Text

I couldn’t tell what it was at first, but that wasn’t what I was expecting

Moose are pretty good swimmers and they swim enough for Orca Whales to pose a significant threat.

My favorite moose fact is the cryptid herd in New Zealand. We know they’re out there, but nobody has seen one in over half a century.
In New Zealand.

Hi I’m sorry. I usually don’t insist that people elaborate on their comments but-
What the everloving fuck are you talking about???

In 1910, a herd of 6 females and 4 males was released in Fiordland. The last confirmed sighting was in 1952, and it was considered marginal territory for them, so it was presumed they had died out.
Until some moose hair was found in 2002.
This lead to extensive searches and installation of automatic cameras - none of which have caught an actual moose, though bedding and rub sites have been found.
The current theory as I understand it is that they’re living on rich seaweed beds in the area.
