Ok, they are normally from the land of the rising sun, what about from the sun. Come on Ken, you’re the resident star gazer in the know. What’s the story mate, what we looking for this evening?
The really bright one almost straight up is Jupiter. The bright red one slightly to the east is Mars. And the great big silver one with dots all over it is Trev's arse apparently.
Okay. I suppose you meant the solar flare? The only visible manifestation we might possibly see is a possibility of the aurora borealis being visible from a much lower latitude than usual. Not long ago it was seen as far south as Birmingham. Undoubtably more than one virgin was sacrificed there that night. On second thoughts, perhaps not. They're not that common in Birmingham. Of more concern is the effect it could have on EM and power networks. A powerful enough Coronal Mass Ejection can turn a power grid as big as the national grid into so much tinsel. And that would be after it has rendered comms, nav and any other satellites on the sun side toast. Then, of course, there's the ISS.
What the fcuk are you going on about? I get the virgins, or lack of in Birmingham, I lived there and quite proud to say I did my bit to the make sure that statement stands but the rest has gone wooosh. What is ISS for pity’s sake?sake
International space station. This thread has got me worried, i'm reminded the next significant solar flare is expected next year. They will probably have to steer satellites out of the way which will totally bollocks up any coverage of bike racing and super league.
I'm dammed if I do and dammed if I don't. You did ask, after all. I've given you a daft answer and a serious answer and you're still on my back. When exactly is our anniversary, again?
There's six astronauts up there at the moment with not much more than a toothpaste tubes thickness of aluminium between them and and drying their hair in a microwave.
i got a telescope for christmas (and yes.. i did actually ask for one!)... but sadly its shit and came with no instructions - the only think i can see in it is a black hole... a really black hole.
wooooooooooooooo Sun and daily star readers must have thought it was the end of the world. result bugger all. More hype from the media
