A coronal mass ejection #CME produced during yesterday’s X1.1 #solarflareevent is coming directly our way at Earth. Experts are expecting the bulk of the #ejecta to arrive on August 18. But, they say, we could also see an early arrival on August 17. The impact of this solar material with Earth’s magnetic field should boost #auroraldisplays.
Planetary EcologistEjecta (Volcanology 🌋)
Ejecta are particles ejected from an area. In volcanology, in particular, the term refers to particles including pyroclastic materials that came out of a volcanic explosion and magma eruption volcanic vent, or crater, has traveled through the air or under water, and fell back on the ground surface or on the ocean floor. Typically in volcanology, ejecta is a result of explosive e...

One Impact on Mars Produced More than Two Billion Secondary Craters
There are plenty of craters on Mars, especially when compared to Earth. That is primarily thanks to the lack of weathering forces and strong plate tectonics that disrupt the formations of such impacts on our home planet. However, not all impact craters on Mars are directly caused by asteroid impacts. Many of them are caused … Continue reading "One Impact on Mars Produced More than Two Billion Secondary Craters"

AnthropoceneManFor this Valentine's Day...I offer nature's expression of attraction...a melding of #ejecta, the lingering heat of placement, and mechanical comingling...the #Agglomerate.
Conglomerate and agglomerate are synonyms, except when used as business and geological terms. For geology, an agglomerate is "a mass of angular volcanic fragments united by heat".
In this case, the slug of molten material gathers angular blocks and bombs as it is carried downslope or along the top/sides of molten lava flows. This comingling and agglomeration is likened to the gathering of snow crystals as snowballs are formed.
You might say the heat and attraction and falling/rolling comingling are the closest to passion that is expressed in rocks....rocks falling into permanent embrace.
