January 13th is The Freedom Defenders Day in Lithuania 🇱🇹

On the night of #Jan13 1991 unarmed civilians defended the Lithuanian Parliament and held strong against brutal aggression of Soviet Union. While national radio and TV broadcaster was captured and choked, occupiers did not manage to break will and determination of free people 💪

Fourteen people were killed and hundreds more were injured when Soviet troops stormed the TV Tower and the Radio and Television Committee building in Vilnius, in the early hours of January 13, 1991.

Lithuania declared restoration of independence on March 11th, 1990.

> GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: Minor G1-class #geomagnetic #storms are possible on Jan. 14-15 in response to glancing blows from one or more CMEs. The storm clouds were hurled into space by the collective activity of many #flares earlier #thisweek . None of the CMEs is squarely Earth directed and, in fact, all might miss. This is a low probability forecast.

> EMERGING SUNSPOT ALERT: A phalanx of #large #sunspots is #emerging over the sun's eastern limb. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded more than half a dozen #dark cores during the early hours of Jan. 13th
