Recent and projected proton flux activity in and around Earth, which may affect those of you using
Earth Orbit for parking your ships (if you have hard-matter ships), especially matrix-slip drives or
older model proton reaction drives.(Magnetic and gravitic drives may be affected only during high-level solar winds. The luna dark-side parking facility is hardened against any solar radiation likely in this system.)

Real-Time Solar Wind, last 3 Days (as seen from Earth)
MIB Archivist Note: Solar Wind Velocity in this is system is not
a constant in spite of what the above
(human-prepared) diagram suggests. It varies (typically) from 300 - 800 km/s

Terms of Measurement and Other Defintions...
| CH HSS | coronal hole high speed stream (refers to specific activity on the Sun) |
| PFU | proton flux units (units defined in terms of "units" -- oh well; Humans) |
| Meter | The meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. (But... the offical Human definition fails to note a correction for that measurement being in a gravity field.) |
| Second | Roughly, 1/86,400th of a planetary [Earth] rotation. More precisely, the second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom |
| Minute | 60 seconds. (Go figure) |
| Hour | 60 minutes. (Go figure) |
| Day | One planetary rotation: 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds -- more or less, and subject to tiny periodic corrections. Earth's rotation is not an absolute constant, naturally enough: changable by solar wind interactions, magnetic field changes (solar and planetary), "earth quakes," planetary interactions, solar flares, changes in drought conditions or other redistribution of water over large surface areas, etc, etc... You guys know all that, already though. |
| K-Index | The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm. It is derived from the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer during a three-hour interval. |
Most terms of measurement used by Humans are derivable from planetary movements, or from harmonics of their own
body mechanics. We have provided translations for some of these in terms of more universal referents, such as
light speed in a vacuum in flat-space, behaviors of atomic elements commonly known on Earth, and such.
If you think this makes precise measurements of nearly anything that happens on Earth or documented in Human records difficult to interpret, you're right.
