Where did this pressure come from on our magnetosphere?

I check out the real time magnetosphere occasionally and today I came upon a series of real time images that appear to be undergoing more and more pressure.

I am wondering if I missed a large CME or if it is some other kind of space storm?

Here is the link: Magnetosphere

Any ideas? or did I just miss a big CME earlier?

You should have posted the image you saw.

That realtime link you posted is constantly updating, and I don't see anything consistent with your claim in the latest images.

I clicked trough the data a while after the poster posted before i went to sleep.

Thanks, they go pretty fast.

I want to point out this video:



This guy pegged the Bonin event in November. Look at the video around 4:40.

He talks about the solar wind and sun effects on eq's also.

We had a great deal of pressure before the Bonin eq's.

Seems to me they might be related
