A decrease to mostly unsettled is expected for the second day. An increase to unsettled to active is anticipated on the third day in response to a favorably positioned coronal hole. > > Solar Data > The current sunspot number is 61, and the solar wind speed recently clocked in at 475 kilometers per second. > > The solar wind density was 6.7 protons per cubic centimeter. > > (Speed and density values are snapshots in time and change during the day.) > > http://www.space.com/spacewatch/space_weather.html > > ------------------------------------- > > Sign up to become part of the greatest search in history!
