Another poor week, not even the weekend could raise things. Mid-week, which is traditionally bad was actually very bad with only 3stations spotted in total on Wednesday and Thursday.

Sun: As of now there have been no sunspots for 11 days.
Astronomers from Villanova University reported this week that Betelgeuse has continued to dim. The red super giant’s luminosity is now at a 25 year low, stoking speculation that the star is about to collapse and explode. Other explanations are at least as likely. Betelgeuse might be blowing dust from its cool outer layers, creating a haze that dims its own light. Whatever is happening, say the researchers, "the unusual behaviour of Betelgeuse should be closely watched." (spaceweather.com)
Stoke beat West Brom 0 – 1 to earn an exceedingly valuable 3 points away. Swansea at Stoke this coming Saturday. I’ll be there.
