Bonus Footage: I highlight the recently confirmed Mars quake detected by the seismometer (SEIS) on the Insight Lander. This bonus segment originally aired on TMRO Space News, April 24, 2019.
Space Weather picks up slightly this week as a remnant coronal hole region rotates through the Earth-strike zone. Because this region is weakening under the influence of a solar minimum Sun, expect only unsettled conditions, with aurora shows limited mostly to high latitudes. Amateur radio operators should also expect poor radio propagation this week, due to our spotless Sun, but GPS users should enjoy decent signal reception, even at low latitudes. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, find out when we can expect solar flux to rise again, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use.
Images c/o NASA/ESA/CSA (most notably the superb SDO, SOHO, ACE, STEREO, CCMC, JPL & DSN teams, amazing professionals, hobbyists, institutions, organizations, agencies and amateurs such as those at the USAF/HAARP, NICT, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Intellicast, Catatania, rice.edu, wisc.edu, sonoma.edu ucalgary.ca, rssi.ru, ohio-state.edu, solen.info, and more. Thanks for making Space Weather part of our every day dialogue.
