As many UMSF members have likely noticed the current Solar Cycle (25) is off with a bang! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_2...progression.png. SOHO observations https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/spaceweather/ coupled with daily comments in Space Weather https://spaceweather.com/ provide an excellent way to follow this activity.

Today’s interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is directed at Venus https://spaceweather.com/. While we Earthlings are safe there seems to be some uncertainty as to whether Venus will experience some increased atmospheric loss.(not that Venus will notice!). The effects of an ICME on an unmagnetized planet such as Mars and Venus are comparatively poorly understood. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...02/2014JA020616
