What's a KP index?
Discussion
The Kp index is a measure of geomagnetic activity, ranging from 0 to 9. Higher Kp values indicate stronger geomagnetic storms. A KP index of 5 or above means more likelihood of seeing the Aurora at mid latitudes.
Geomagnetic storms make people act crazy.
Never heard thst term before. 🫡
I'm a sky watcher and it's important to know that to know if you have a chance at seeing the Aurora. I have an app that alerts me if it's high at my location. I lived further north than Moscow for over a year and never saw it as plainly as I've seen it in this past year over the Pacific Northwest. And it's happening so often that I noticed that I feel crappy every time, so that's how it came to matter to me 😅
last week it got to kp9 and oh boy was it a doozey... vibes were everywhere, online and in person
how crazy manifests is different though. it makes psychos into charles manson and fluffy spirit kids into recluses (and it made my cat loopy as well, he's a bit traumatised from his previous owners tho)
All the animals here are going crazy and I'm staying isolated so you're correct 🫂
