WHAT IS A 'KEOGRAM'? A way to display entire geomagnetic storms at a glance. It gets its name from the Inuit word for auroras -- Keoeeit. Daniel Bush of Albany, Missouri, created these keograms to compare the three great geomagnetic storms of Solar Cycle 25:
Researchers in the 1970s adopted the term keogram to honor the Arctic peoples who lived under the lights. It distills an entire night of auroral motion into a single strip of brightness. Watch this animation to see how a keogram is made.
"I was very fortunate weatherwise here in Missouri to be able to record the three strongest geomagnetic storms of Solar Cycle 25 ... so far," says Bush. "They were all great. But one can tell just by comparing these keograms that the May 2024 storm was in a league all of its own with bright energetic substorms and dusk to dawn intensity."
Solar Cycle 25 peaked in 2024, but it is far from finished. For the next few years it will slowly decline. That's important because, statistically speaking, the declining phases of solar cycles are when some of the strongest storms occur. The Halloween Storms of 2003 and the Veterans Day storm of 2025 are good examples. We predict that Bush's keogram will grow even longer in 2
James Kaufman with his report today.
Ladies and gentlemen, today we've seen a kilogram,
not kilogram, but kilogram.
Now, I want to first shout out to the people that gave me,
well, tickets to the opening of the club.
I only went for an hour, but it was open everything,
and I really appreciate y'all subscribers sent that to me,
and I really, really appreciate it.
So I did show face for an hour
and a couple of people actually noticed me.
So back to a kilogram.
A way to display the entire geomagnetic storm
at a glance is using
kilograms. It's a unit of measurement
that was adopted to describe geomagnetic storms.
aurora borealis, aurora australis,
and they measure the intensity of the storms.
KEOGRAMS, K-E-O-G-R-A-M-S, KEOGRAMS, okay?
I wish it was kilos, but it's not.
So the three strongest geomagnetic storms
of the solar cycle 25 that we're in right now,
we're all actually shooting out KEOGRAMS,
KEOGRAMS of energy.
They call it, uh, energetic substorms of dust and dawn intensity.
Now, there's some, well, agreement about when solar cycle 25 peaked.
And I don't even know if it's peaked yet.
Based on the regular cycles, it should not have.
But NASA says it peaked in 2024 now.
They said it would peak in 2026.
So they're talking out of their ass, as usual.
Now, this is important because they say this only happens
at a solar max and coming off a solar max.
And I guess we saw our biggest
K-E-O-G-R-A-M kilogram last night, right?
It's a new measurement, a new word that NASA made up,
as they always do, right?
So with that said, God bless you guys,
share and subscribe, always remember, anything's
possible, the bizarre ass world, not our world anymore, God bless.
