## Sunspots, Supernova, NEOs, Storm Effects
The last 24 hours on the Earth Facing disc show the coronal hole slowly going off the disc.  The incoming sunspot group is not putting up a fight against the Earth Facing Quiet and is starting to decay. No plasma or other ejections towards earth in the time period.  The Planetary K-index has calmed back down to green levels. Solar wind has stabilized and intensity has increased. 

Yesterday's geomagnetic storm causes some reported issues.
