🌌 Universal Chronicles: The Planetary Retrograde Edition 🚀

Well, stargazers, we're deep into the cosmic soup and things are getting spicy! Mercury, Mars, AND Pluto are all shacked up in Scorpio like a trio of moody teenagers. It's like a cosmic episode of "My So-Called Life." #ScorpioShenanigans

Venus, that old romantic, has checked into Virgo for a spa retreat. She's probably giving herself a facial and organizing her sock drawer. It doesn't get any more Virgo than that, folks. #VenusInVirgo #SockDrawerGoals

Jupiter, oh Jupiter, is belly up in Taurus. If you hear distant rumblings, it's probably him snoring. Or farting. Or both. There's no shame in Jupiter's game. #JupiterJoviality

And then there's Saturn, hanging out in dreamy Pisces. I'm pretty sure he's writing poetry and pondering the meaning of life. Or maybe he's just watching reruns of "The X-Files." #SaturnInPisces #MulderAndSaturn

Uranus and Neptune are both chilling in Taurus and Pisces respectively. I swear, Uranus is stuffing his face with pastries and Neptune is probably off in lala land, daydreaming about unicorns and rainbows. #UranusUnleashed #NeptuneNonsense

Lastly, Pluto. Yes, Pluto, we still consider you a planet here. He's brooding in Capricorn like a grumpy old man. Don't worry, Pluto, your secret's safe with us. #PlutoStillAPlanet

So there you have it, folks. The planets are spinning, the stars are twinkling, and we're all just along for the ride. Keep your seatbelts fastened and your sense of humor at the ready. #CosmicComedy

The Solar System at a Glance

Solar wind parameters remained enhanced through the period. Lingering effects from the 03 Nov CME was coupled with CIR interaction from an approaching negative polarity coronal hole. Total magnetic field strength was steady at 5-6 nT through about 07/1615 when a slight increase to 7-9 nT was observed. The Bz component varied between +/- 5 nT and increased in variability to +7/-5 nT after 07/1615 UTC. Solar wind generally averaged about 475 km/s, but became unreliable after about 07/1430 UTC. The Phi angle remained in a predominately negative orientation.

There is a 40% chance of solar activity, with a 30% chance of a minor event, a 15% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.
