Level 6 no less !,I guess we will all be fried at level 9.

Oh I know,the same people who promote these irritating and meaningless
warnings also tell astrophotographers that one of their planets is now
not a planet.

That it was so easy to alter other astronomical things so easily but
then again the riches of astronomy are before men and they refuse to
accept them.I really wish somebody else would at least try to promote
the common astronomical heritage and extract the destructive mutations
which has people believing that if they travel faster the universe will
change just for them.

Your geomagnetic index is probably the most mindnumbing thing I ever
came across but it may be the best you can do these days.
