Partial Lunar Eclipse at the Sailors Rest Pub
A good evening at the sailors home rest pub-got to see about half an
hours worth of the partial lunar eclipse before it got covered by
cloud and everyone that was there enjoyed it-being non astronomers, I also took along my red green and ultra violet laser pens which went
down very well with the kids who had fun with them-a really good
evening......

[BAA-ebulletin 01031] First Sunspot of Cycle 25
BAA electronic bulletin
The first sunspot of the new solar cycle 25 has been confirmed as
AR2744 S27/209 type Bxo
The sunspot emerged in the south east quadrant on the 6th and
strengthened on the 7th but has already dissolved on the disk by this
morning (July 8th).
AR2744 may not be significant as sunspots go but we can officially
welcome the start of the new solar cycle.
