About this deal

Space Alert is a cooperative survival designer board game created by Vlaada Chvátil in 2008. [1] Players assume the roles of space explorers on a mission to survey the galaxy. The crew is evaluated on teamwork and how they deal with problems that arise on their journey. Unlike most board games, in Space Alert, players need to make decisions and play cards in real time. It was given a special prize for "New Game Worlds" in the 2009 Spiel des Jahres awards. [2] Gameplay [ edit ] Game Board and Components. The threat of space weather to national infrastructure, UK industry and the wider public is such that in 2011 it was added to the Government National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies. In response, the Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre (MOSWOC) was created to provide the critical information needed to help protect the country from the serious threats posed by severe space weather events. What causes space weather? Video showing the CME leaving the Sun on 9 th November. Movie is generated using Helioviewer.org with images from SOHO/LASCO (ESA/NASA) and the Solar dynamics Observatory satellite (NASA).

Assuming clear dark skies, there is an increased chance of seeing the aurora tomorrow evening and on 12 th November. Those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland have the best chance if the weather is favourable. The most recognisable and visible space weather effect is arguably the auroras (Northern and Southern Lights). However, as well as these spectacular natural phenomena, space weather also represents a real threat and can have an impact upon national infrastructure, technology, and communications systems. Solar flares are the sudden releases of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. They are hard to predict, and the energy can be detected in Earth's atmosphere as soon as 8.5 minutes after the occurrence of a solar flare.Space weather conditions vary. Streams of particles from the Sun carried by the solar wind constantly hit the Earth. During periods of high solar activity, when there are more solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), Earth experiences increased impacts. Extreme events that cause the largest impacts can occur at any time during the 11 year solar cycle. Coronal mass ejection/Solar flares I see there is a thread from 2017 like this already however it predates the change to the alert template syntax in 2018 (?) so I thought it was probably better to keep this separate.

Coronal Hole A region in the Sun’s outer atmosphere (corona) where hot material can flow unrestrained by its magnetic fields out into space.

Space weather notifications

A full halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) left the Sun at approximately 10:50 UT on 9 th November 2023, associated with a filament eruption from an Earth-facing active region on the sun. The CME is expected to arrive late on 11 th November and is likely to lead to a significant enhancement in geomagnetic activity, making moderate geomagnetic STORM periods possible. The current solar wind speed is already disturbed due to coronal hole influence. Solar Wind The ever-present expansion of the Sun’s hot outer atmosphere into the solar system, which carries space weather within it.

Filament Eruption An eruption of solar plasma (i.e. ions and electrons) associated with the upward movement of solar magnetic field lines into the corona. Filaments are usually dark against the bright solar disk but can appear bright (as 'erupting prominences') on the limbs of the Sun against the darkness of space. Filaments are often associated with CMEs Solar Activity:Activity has been Low, with only a number of C-class flares, the most energetic of these from the large and magnetically complex region in the southeast quadrant. This is one of eleven sunspot regions on the visible disc, with a number of moderately sized regions. In addition there is a proliferation of simple unipolar regions. Summary is issued at the end of an event, confirming the start and end time and peak measurement during the event.
