Volgograd told about the calm magnetosphere and the rapprochement of the moon with Pluto

According to the calendars of magnetic storms, October 19 will be among the quiet days of the month. Of course, it is impossible to completely exclude mild discomfort - especially sensitive people sometimes react even to background fluctuations, but it will not come to the level of a weak storm (G1). So you can plan important things or a long journey.

But this will be more interesting for those who have binoculars or a small telescope. At about 10 o’clock Moscow time, the Moon will “meet” with a dwarf planet in the sky, that is, it will pass about 2 degrees north of Pluto. For the naked eye, this, of course, will not be visible – Pluto is too dim, even in the optics it will be difficult to catch. But if you have observational experience and a moonless night (and the moon phase on this day will be growing: about 0.6 - that is, it will be quite bright), you can try.
