Know we the flesh is fleeting. The things men count great are nothing to us. The things we seek are not of the body but are only the perfected state of the soul. Long, long ago, I cast off my body. Wandered I free through the vastness of ether, circled the angles that hold man in bondage. Know ye, O man, ye are only a spirit. The body is nothing. The Soul is the All. Let not your body be a fetter. Cast off the darkness and travel in Light. Cast off your body, O man, and be free, truly a Light that is ONE with the Light. . THOTH

TODAY'S
SPACE WEATHER
.

(Summary of prior day)
*Solar/Magnetic/Quake Update - 6.14.98 - 2200 UTC
After a C2 flare event early this morning, Xray activity declined during the remainder of the period with only B-Class subflares. Another new region was also numbered today. Several regions are capable of producing C-Class flares and at least one region could produce an isolated M-Class event. The statistical chances for an M-Class event have been raised to 30% for the next three days.
The magnetic field became briefly stormy last night. Electron measurements entered a period of strong flux that is still continuing. Coinciding with the beginning of this electron flux, the PK readings jumped to "5" [minor storm] at the onset and then dropped back to "3" [unsettled] for the remainder of the period. The SEC forecast calls for unsettled conditions for the next 48 hours with possible active to minor storm conditions beginning on the 17th.
Quake activity picked back up today with numerous light to moderate quakes reported by the USGS. The largest quake reported was a 5.6 along the eastern coast of Honshu around 60-70 miles east of Tokyo... it was listed as a "33 km - undetermined depth," so the likelihood of any damage is uncertain. California saw a lot of minor seismic activity today including more tremors at Mammoth Lakes, north of San Francisco, well offshore from Eureka in the north, and just offshore of Los Angeles in the south. While the quakes in California were of light magnitudes, they were all shallow in depth and therefore probably readily felt at the surface. Here is the latest from the USGS quake locator site:

HAVE WE
REALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE SUN IS?
One of the biggest embarrassments of 20th-century science -- the sun's refusal to emit nearly as many neutrinos as physicists say it should -- inched closer to a possible solution last week when experimenters reported strong new evidence that these weird elementary particles, long thought to be perfectly mass-less, may have a small amount of heft after all. If neutrinos indeed have mass, the story goes, they can change "flavor" on their flight from the center of the Sun, eluding the electronic snares earthlings have been setting. The neutrinos wouldn't be missing, but traveling in disguise. continue
