Earthquake hit Sweeden..Dec 16th, 2008
From Spaceweather:
Strong moonlight added a snowy highlight to the scene,” says photographer Jostein Johansen of Tromsø, Norway. The solar wind stream that caused the display came from a far-northern coronal hole. Because of the hole’s high latitude, the emerging stream almost missed Earth and only just brushed against our planet’s magnetic field. Nevertheless, “it was a beautiful display.”
On Dec. 21st, another solar wind stream will arrive, only this time it will hit Earth directly. The stream is spewing from a coronal hole that straddles the sun’s equator, which puts our planet squarely in the “cross hairs.” The longest night of the year could be a green one; Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras.
Maybe it is the Solar Wind that is the true cause for many of these earthquakes in addition to a Full Moon.
4.2 is not much of a hit. Did a reindeer slip and fall on the ice?
We need a camera!!
