LOL take it easy there Roger 🤣🤣🍷 Don't need you doing yourself some damage!

There are worse fates than falling over drunk trying to see the Northern Lights! I can think of no better way to go - except tomorrow is our 53rd wedding anniversary. Might seem I'd not taken that seriously enough! 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Anniversary! 53 years is quite an achievement. Hope you have a lovely day 🥂🍾

We shall do our best! 😁 How time flies!!!!!!

Since this is space news I was in the right place earlier this morning to watch Starlink pass overhead and vanish to the east.

Amazing sight under brilliant starry clear skies with a shooting star thrown in too and the early transatlantic flights approaching.

(past) 5:48 am, 30 Sep 2025

Starlink-302 (G10-27), DIM (1.8) for 3 mins

Look from SOUTHWEST (240°) to EAST (71°)

Elevation (from horizon): start: 40°, max: 80°, end: 10°

Our younger son witnessed Starlink pass over and shooting stars last month too, in the small hours. My husband and I watched them pass over late, one night, earlier in the year, soon after a recent launch. It really is quite the sight. Our first time seeing them was whilst holidaying in S. France a couple of years back and we wondered what it was 👍🏻

"Not all the lights in the sky were auroras. Many observers also witnessed STEVE -- a bright mauve ribbon of light caused by hot plasma currents in the upper atmosphere. Daryl Pederson saw STEVE making a majestic 'X' with the Milky Way over Sterling, Alaska:"

Rare October Harvest Moon rising Tuesday marks first supermoon of 2025

https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/c059dyvvjj7o 

It was pretty awesome last night and in the early morning, as it was setting. No street lights necessary as it was still very bright at just before 6am.

Went outside for a look about 02.15hrs. The Moon was high in the sky - almost overhead, slightly to the south, visible through light cloud. Certainly very bright, but little detail observable. To really appreciate a "Supermoon" it's best to see it low down against features such as buildings or landscapes. Good though.

"An updated NOAA model shows at least three CMEs heading for Earth. Most of them come from active sunspot 4246, described below. Although the CMEs are individually faint and relatively slow, they could combine to cause a G1 or G2-class geomagnetic storm when they arrive on Oct. 16-17"

"On Oct. 21st, Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) will make its closest approach to Earth.

The brightening comet has reached magnitude +4.5, making it an easy target for

off-the-shelf cameras."

Update on 16th: "The failure of any CMEs to strike Earth on Oct. 16th has prompted NOAA to downgrade today's geomagnetic storm watch from G2 (Moderate) to G1 (Minor). The incoming CMEs were probably off-target. A belated glancing-blow could still spark Arctic auroras on Oct. 17th."

"On Oct. 29th, the interstellar object will make its closest approach to the sun. Perihelion is the perfect time to perform a Solar Oberth maneuver or to deploy stealthy probes. If we see any unexpected non-gravitational acceleration, artificial lights, or excess heat (engine activity), it could point to alien tech. Otherwise, 3I/ATLAS is what it appears to be--a comet." "We’re about to find out."

"Steve Fearn, 52, from Lincolnshire, said it was "quite a buzz, capturing something so unique" as he pictured it over the life-size sculpture of the bomber, titled On Freedom's Wings, which honours RAF crews of World War Two. The image also shows a grey light going across the sky, which he said he believed was fuel from a Space X rocket."

STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORMS PREDICTED: Solar activity is suddenly high with multiple X-class and strong M-class solar flares since Monday. At least three CMEs are expected to graze or directly hit Earth this week, potentially sparking strong geomagnetic storms on Nov. 6-7.
