Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.

My camera caught a few green and red flickers in the northern sky last night. It wasn't enough to make a video out of, but it was noticeable at times.

Saw a faint greenish glow in the northern skies from Ringinglow, Sheffield. Managed to take photos of it but not sure how to upload them here.

When I saw corruption, I was forced to find truth on my own. I couldn't swallow the hypocrisy.

A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: Big sunspot 4551 has developed a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Any explosions today will be geoeffective because the sunspot is directly facing Earth.

"If you had to pick one day in 2026 to wake up before sunrise, Thursday, Oct. 22nd, might be it. It’s a magical morning. The brightest stars of winter will be sparkling overhead while Mars and Jupiter converge in the southeast. And a handful of bright meteors is very likely to cross the scene."

Interesting SpaceWeather piece - 30th Oct.

China's Space Plane a naked-eye object.

Until this week, you probably didn’t even know China had a space plane. Suddenly it’s in the news everywhere. On Oct. 26th, the Defense Intelligence Agency released this image:

Chinese state media call it "Chongfu Shiyong Shiyan Hangtian Qi" - meaning reusable experimental spacecraft. It flies to space like a rocket and lands on Earth like an airplane. Western observers have nicknamed it "Shenlong" ("Divine Dragon"). It is currently on its fourth mission since 2020.

Unlikely to be visible in the UK, but something to keep in mind?

SWIFT IS FALLING TO EARTH THIS WEEK: 

NASA's 1.5-ton Swift space telescope is falling to Earth faster than expected. 

Forecasters say it will disintegrate on Nov. 3rd or 4th, creating a fireball that could be visible even in daylight.

Details and ground tracks @ Spaceweather.com.
