Space Weather Daily Update for July 8, 2018

There is a large bright spot coming around onto the Earth facing-disc and behind it is the next coronal hole. In about a day or so, we'll see whether this bright spot can keep it together against the Earth Facing Quiet and the solar minimum. <p dir="auto">The tropical depression off the coast of the Carolinas in now Tropical Storm Chris <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?cone#contents" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">NOAA Tracker.<br /> Tropical Storm Beryl <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?cone#contents" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">NOAA Tracker is still make its way through the Lesser Antilles. <h3>Earthquakes and volcanoes of note <ul> <li><a href="https://www.earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2018-07-08-12-54-50-utc-5-4-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">5.4 magnitude earthquake near Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, United States <li><a href="https://www.earthquaketrack.com/quakes/2018-07-07-21-33-49-utc-5-9-34" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">5.9 magnitude earthquake NE of L'Esperance Rock, New Zealand <ul> <li><a href="https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Kilauea, Hawaii - orange <li><a href="https://avo.alaska.edu/activity/Cleveland.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Cleveland, Alaska - orange/watch <li><a href="https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/krakatau.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Krakatau, Indonesia - erupting (4 out of 5) <h3>Space Objects <p dir="auto">No new Near-Earth Objects(NEO) added to the database. <h3>Other News <ul> <li><a href="http://www.nbi.ku.dk/english/news/news18/milky-way-type-dust-particles-discovered-in-a-galaxy-11-billion-light-years-from-earth/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Milky Way type dust particles discovered in a galaxy 11 billion light years from Earth.
