Geomagnetic storm severity info (K-Index) NOAA / Space Weather Prediction Center The K-index is a code that is related to the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer relative to a quiet day, during a three-hour interval. The conversion table from maximum fluctuation (nT) to K-index, varies from observatory to observatory in such a way that the historical rate of occurrence of certain levels of K are about the same at all observatories. In practice this means that observatories at higher geomagnetic latitude require higher levels of fluctuation for a given K-index. The conversion table for the Boulder magnetometer is shown below: At SWPC, we monitor the preliminary values of the K-index, minute by minute, from a network of observatories that relay data in near-real time.

Back-to-back flybys: Asteroids buzz Earth - Technology & science - Space - Space.com Two small asteroids zipped close by Earth in back-to-back flybys of the planet Monday and Tuesday. While both space rocks came well within the moon's orbit, they posed no danger to our planet, NASA scientists say. The newfound asteroid 2012 KP24 zoomed by Earth Monday, coming within 32,000 miles (51,000 kilometers) on its closest approach, according to astronomers at NASA's Asteroid Watch at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Almost everyone has experienced it at one point in their lives – a feeling like you’ve done something or have been somewhere before. A certainty that the events playing out at that exact moment have already happened. Sometimes the feeling can be so strong that you think you might be able to predict what is going to happen within the next few seconds. That feeling is called “Deja vu“.
