Space Weather Daily Update for 11 January, 2018

Comet Record, Coronal Holes, Weather

Another calm day on the Earth Facing disc. No sunspots, no solar flares and no plasma filaments doing anything. The solar winds are calm and the Planetary K-index shows this by a barely green chart.

Earthquakes of note

With the big earthquake out of the way yesterday, you would think that would have released enough pressure for today. But, the Earth rumbles on. Iraq got a 5.0 magnitude earthquake and several aftershocks. And a couple of rare quakes in the north Atlantic also happened.

• 5.5 magnitude earthquake near Mandalī, Diyālá, Iraq
• 5.0 magnitude foreshock near Mandalī, Diyālá, Iraq
• 5.4 magnitude earthquake near Mandalī, Diyālá, Iraq
• 5.0 magnitude earthquake on Reykjanes Ridge
• 4.9 magnitude aftershock on Reykjanes Ridge
• 5.1 magnitude earthquake near Hirara, Okinawa, Japan
