WHAT'S YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2018

Hello my apologies its stopped,it was more like a heavy mist for about 20 minutes

 

Hi @Gail_68 no not me my friend,I have lived on this planet to long to let the weather change my happy go lucky outlook

 

We just had a few spots of rain - literally a few spots. You couldn't see it, but you could smell it.

Currently very overcast, very close, and very oppressive; time for beer methinks

 

Errr, but Mr Trump has said there is no such thing as Climate Change.

Solar minimum period is referring, as I said, to electro magnetic activity not a cooling of the Sun affecting the climate of the Earth. Astronomers have recorded the cyclic increase and decrease of the Sun's electro magnetic activity, it's corona and solar flares for hundreds of years going back to the early Chinese Astronomers who kept accurate records. Ice ages are also cyclic and a natural event but they don't mean an end to civilisation.

Hmm, my neighbour reads the Express and gives it to me. I don't read it but use it to line my cats litter tray where my cats show their appreciation of the Express's journalism.

Well, I'm sure he does. Pulling out of the Climate Agreement, opening up America's coal mines to pour millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, attempting to reverse the Clean Power Act in America, now allows Coal waste to be dumped into american rivers and lakes by commercial firms. No, you're right, Mr Trump really does have the World's and the environment interests at heart.

Well, I don't give any credibility to the conspiracy or "scientific" theories on the Net or in the National "Rags" which helps me keep an open mind. I'm also an Astronomer.......



with a 12 inch aperture scope sitting in my Observatory and looking at the Stars, planets, and Universe tend you make you keep your feet on the ground but your brain out there in the cold, vast blackness.........that's where the "truth" is.

 

It's up and running again, Gail, but I still need to fine tune the telescope mount for tracking and also the critical focal length between the camera and the telescope.........oh, and some clear skies.
