Due to the variation in speeds, the CMEs ended up combining their forces, resulting in a mid-level geomagnetic storm that lasted almost twenty hours.
Corresponding with the "surprises" that we anticipated with last week's New Moon, that storm occurred on the same day as the lunation. With all that energy on the move, no wonder it felt like such a rollercoaster week!
