Now that Visions of Eternity has shipped and folks have had some healthy time to dive in and explore Castora, I want to give a big shoutout to the story team. I’m so proud of what we’ve built and where we’re going. This is a special one. 🍍

My entire timeline rn.
A two frame meme from Seinfeld. The top frame is a picture of Jerry basking in a red glow. "Good lord! Whats happening in there?" The bottom frame is Kramer in his doorway, also basked in a red glow. "Aurora borealis."

Minnesota is getting an epic #Aurora show right now!!

(Taken from Brooklyn Park, MN)

#NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis
Shot pointed more Northeast and more directly up showing significant red and green behind trees, especially towards lower and middle portions of the shot. Shot pointed North and slightly northwest showing green glow through the trees and red beams above it. Camera pointed more due north showing green glow through the trees lower down and faint red/pink beans above it.

Aurora Forecast Update for 2025-11-12T00:40:41Z

WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 or greater expected
Valid From: 2025 Nov 12 0020 UTC
Valid To: 2025 Nov 12 0900 UTC
Warning Condition: Onset
NOAA Scale: G3 or greater
Additional Details Here.
Space Weather Message Code: WARK07 Serial Number: 136 Issue Time: 2025 Nov 12 0020 UTC WARNING: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 or greater expected Valid From: 2025 Nov 12 0020 UTC Valid To: 2025 Nov 12 0900 UTC Warning Condition: Onset NOAA Scale: G3 or greater NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 50 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. Induced Currents - Power system voltage irregularities possible, false alarms may be triggered on some protection devices. Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites and orientation problems may occur. Navigation - Intermittent satellite navigation (GPS) problems, including loss-of-lock and increased range error may occur. Radio - HF (high frequency) radio may be intermittent. Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon. :Product: 3-Day Forecast :Issued: 2025 Nov 12 0030 UTC # Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center # A. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 3 (below NOAA Scale levels). The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 is 8.00 (NOAA Scale G4). NOAA Kp index breakdown Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 00-03UT 5.00 (G1) 6.67 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 03-06UT 7.33 (G3) 6.33 (G2) 4.00 06-09UT 6.00 (G2) 6.00 (G2) 3.33 09-12UT 4.67 (G1) 4.67 (G1) 3.67 12-15UT 4.33 4.00 3.33 15-18UT 8.00 (G4) 3.33 3.00 18-21UT 7.67 (G4) 4.33 3.00 21-00UT 7.00 (G3) 4.67 (G1) 3.33 Rationale: CME activity from 09-11 Nov is likely to cause G1-G4 (Minor-Severe) levels on 12 Nov, G1-G3 (Minor-Strong) storm levels on 13 Nov and G1 (Minor) levels early on 14 Nov. B. NOAA Solar Radiation Activity Observation and Forecast Solar radiation, as observed by NOAA GOES-18 over the past 24 hours, was above S-scale storm level thresholds. Solar Radiation Storm Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 S1 or greater 99% 75% 55% Rationale: The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue above the S1 (Minor) threshold through 13 Nov, with S2 levels possible through 12 Nov. Further enhancements are possible with the arrival of the 09-11 Nov CMEs on 11 and 12 Nov. C. NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Nov 11 2025 1004 UTC. Radio Blackout Forecast for Nov 12-Nov 14 2025 Nov 12 Nov 13 Nov 14 R1-R2 85% 85% 85% R3 or greater 55% 55% 55% Rationale: R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected, with further R3 (Strong) activity likely on 12-14 Nov due to the flare potential of Region 4274.

Spark Pizza in Redmond, WA is both fundraising for Northwest Harvest and offering a meal in November while SNAP benefits are suspended. Just ask for the community special. Located at 8110 164th Ave NE, Redmond, WA. #SNAP
Spark The world feels like a pretty crazy place right now. It breaks our hearts to see so many people struggling to just put food on their plates in order to feed themselves and their families. Especially in light of current events. As a result we want to do everything we can to help. In addition to our fundraiser for Northwest Harvest, during the month of November we invite anyone that is in need to come to our takeout window and order a "Community Special." No questions asked-other than-do you want cheese or pepperoni? Give us a few minutes to get it cooked for you. This will continue until SNAP benefits resume.

If you've ever faced food insecurity in the past: you know how it stays with you. Things are about to get tough for 40 million people. If you're in a place where you can donate some money (or TIME) to your local food bank, please be really intentional about it in November.
