Sun: No spots for 7 days now. But, get ready for a meteor outburst--maybe. On Nov. 21-22, Earth will pass by a stream of dusty debris from an unknown comet. Forecasters Esko Lyytinen (Finnish Fireball Network) and Peter Jenniskens (NASA/Ames) believe this could cause an outburst of alpha Monocerotid meteors. (spaceweather.com)
Stoke play Wigan this weekend after the International break, I’ll be there. Our new manager, Michael O’Neill, will also be in charge of Northern Ireland till the Euro playoffs next March. And Spurs sack Pochettino, wow! And appoint Mourinho, double wow!!
