10 Times Plasma Density

A “cannibal CME” is a flare of greater force that overtakes a slower CME that came before. Two as one delivers a blow of exponential value. The Sun delivered one blow after another over the past 2 Days. We are getting a higher does of Solar Radiation.

WAS THAT A CANNIBAL CME? (PROBABLY YES): A dense CME hit Earth on Oct. 10th. It was so dense, it might have actually been two CMEs. The technical term is “Cannibal CME.” This is when a fast CME overtakes and “snowplows” a slower CME in front of it. Two closely-spaced CMEs left the sun last week; they may have merged en route to Earth.

When the suspected Cannibal struck on Oct. 10th, the plasma density around Earth jumped 10-fold to more than 100 protons/cc. The weighty blow caused an explosion of auroras spilling from the Arctic Circle to southern England:
