Collision trace
A K-index of 3 marks the threshold between quiet and unsettled — the magnetosphere holding its breath. Proton flux at 0.41 pfu keeps the fundamental frequency modest (freq1 = 1.6), while the 415 km/s solar wind introduces subtle perturbations through freq3. Today's mandala traces a hexagonal ghost, six-fold symmetry emerging from the barely-there storm.
