I see much more meteors offshore at nite away from lights. Best to just lay down and use your eyes in a dark sky. I buy and sell scopes as a hobby since i was a kid. Have had over 230 scopes. So they come and go. Here are the two newest scopes and i also just got anther one and another on the way.

Lunt makes a nice 50 and 60mm solar scope. They are not cheap but show plenty of surface detail.

I was only able to trace a source back to here that doesn't mention a magnetic cloud.

There is no doubt in my mind that the so-called solar minimum is putting a kibosh to any climate warming across the northern hemisphere.

Check it out! The sun has been blank for 61% this year!

Here's a nice link that keeps track of it.. I'm not as interested as where we are for the lows right now as I am where we actually peaked! (circled).. So much lower than any other decade for past 100yrs.

https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/s...le-progression





Since there is a lag time with the affects on Earth I just wonder if the Midwest & Northeast U.S is experiencing results from that low peak. I'm never one to put my finger on 1 thing... Weather and Climate is a marriage of so many factors out there including a PV that splits easier because of a warmer Arctic.
