Sun: Now 11 days with no sunspots.
Today, Sept. 1st, asteroid 2011 ES4 is flying through the Earth-Moon system only 72,000 miles from Earth. The space rock is 30 meters in diameter. For comparison, that's about the same size as the famous Chelyabinsk meteor of 2013, which broke windows and knocked down parts of buildings in six Russian cities when it exploded in the atmosphere east of the Ural Mountains. Unlike Chelyabinsk, however, 2011 ES4 will not hit Earth. (spaceweather.com)
Stoke managed to just scrape past Blackpool in the Caribao cup on penalties. There are no replays or extra time. It was very poor, we missed many chances.
We did manage to beat Leeds 3 – 0 in a recent preseason friendly. We have another one on Saturday against Newcastle at St. James Park
