The Celestial Palace... of DOOM!
Mar. 14th, 2018 11:53 pmJust about time for someone to get clobbered by the Celestial Palace! The impact window seems to have pretty much stabilized on a median date of April 2nd or 3rd. It orbits between 42.7° north and south, and I'm at about 40° north, so that puts me in roughly the 1% impact band. London, ON is at the top of the orbital track, in about the 3% band, with Buffalo NY not much lower.
*****
Enormous coronal hole too! I'd not been aware of that. It's unlikely to heat the upper atmosphere enough to affect the impact date, though. If you're in Canada or the extreme northern US, it'll probably be a good few nights to see the aurora.
