Thank you so much for these videos. Personally I wouldn't fast foward or only watch half as there is so much information to be had and also I think they are fun and not "boring". Looking forward to the next videos. Thanks again.

I live in Korea, so I've got about 80MBPS download and 104 upload for FREE every month, from my phone company -- but I do have limits in my LTE, so I can sympathize with people who aren't so fortunate. Too many videos these days, and less information is typed, when it just as easily could be.

Drives me batty when I have to watch a 5 minute video to get 30 seconds of information. Not picking on this lady, who does an excellent job -- just a general problem across the internet.

I feel the same. Thank you so much for your work.

For those that are sick of having to watch videos:

1. Fast wind from coronal hole entering the earth's zone, and we're seeing its effects already, bumping us up into active conditions and possibly causing aurora. Up to about 40% chance of a major storm up North. Mid-lattitudes only a 10% chance.

2. Two solar storms launched on the sun's backside, and they may end up being solar storm producers as they turn around to our side in the next few days. Spotless sun facing us now. That will change in a few days, and the solar flux will raise into low to mid 70s by next week, and possibly over the next 2 weeks. Might be noisy though, because of small flares and solar storms. GPS users should be OK. Cosmic ray flux more intense for fliers, and you are in the marginal range for radiation.

3. Passing to the new-moon phase, meteor showers peaking between May 4 and 6th, so we could see up to 20 meteors in an hour.

THANK YOU for condensing five and a half minutes of blah, blah, blah, into a couple of sentences that took thirty seconds to read. That's an eleven to one compression ratio, and now I have five more minutes to spend constructively instead of watching a wannabe "reporter" drone on and on about something that she could have posted as text. But then, she wouldn't have been a big YouTube star, would she?

Many people don't have the internet bandwidth to watch videos. Many others have made their point about preferring to read about a topic vs. watching a video. When are these people who post these videos going to "get it"? Write it down in plain text, we really prefer it that way.

Well, there is money in it, if you get enough followers. And if she had just printed it somewhere, it would have been just another space weather report.

From that aspect, I can understand. We don't wish her any ill will.
