T&S lights up the skies

How opportune was the talk last week on ‘sunspot maxima’?  The presentation was designed to be topical and we were brought up to date on the history and science of sunspots, solar flares and coronal mass ejections only to experience a massive CME over the following days ending with spectacular auroral display on Friday and Saturday nights if you were in the right place !

Click here for some amazing images.

2025 is guestimated to be the next ‘sunspot maxima’ year in the current cycle. If you are interested then you might sign up for AuroraWatch at Lancaster University.

If you are interested in all things Technology and Science then please come along to our next meeting on Wednesday 22 May where we uncover Derby Park.

If you would like to read the ‘solar maximum’ for a copy presentation then please ask via the ‘comments’ section of the T&S web page.
