As radio operators we are all aware of the impact Coronal Mass Ejections (CME's) have on propagation. This video features some interesting video footage a recent solar storm had on earth as viewed from the ISS. It mentions the uptick in sunspots and related CME's and provides some very interesting information about how these can follow the magnetic links between earth and the sun. This information was new to me and so I thought it worth sharing. If you have an interest in space weather this is a great video to watch.
As a final note, from a preparedness perspective the video also touches on the potential for CME's to take out internet service for considerable periods of time. There is a lot of consider and discuss on this subject as it is something that would impact everyone.
