Whoops - thanks. I thought I'd mentioned the Leonids - but must have been another place.

Another two aurora red alerts.
Another night of blanket cloud.

I walked up our lane looking at the clear sunset at 4.15pm and the Moon was visible to the southeast. Can't think when I last saw it. It's too much to ask that we get an aurora - but you might spot a meteor trail later in spite of the moonlight. 😁

Don't feed the Trolls!! When starved of attention they return to their dark caves or the dark recesses of bridges and will turn back to stone, silent again!

Will we get lucky tonight?
"For the fifth day in a row, sunspot AR3889 poses a threat for strong Earth-directed solar flares. The sunspot's delta-class magnetic field is unstable and harbors energy for significant explosions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 25% chance of X-flares on Nov. 12th."

"The final supermoon of 2024, the Beaver Moon of November, thrilled skywatchers around the world as it ushered in the weekend with a stunning night sky sight." It certainly thrilled me - our skies were reasonably clear.

Am I the only one who gets fed up with all these media terms like "supermoon" and "blood moon" etc? It's quite annoying to listen to after a bit.

The reality is the average Joe/Jill Bloggs couldn't tell the difference between a supermoon and a micromoon by just visually looking at it. 
Why the media hype this up I just don't get?
