hi waveform, as a matter of interest i,ve been trying to find out the galactic latitudes\longitudes of keplers search field and if they kind of match the deduced lat\lon of the celebrated wow signal ,i just wondered if you might be able to find out http://www.bigear.org/Wow30th/wow30th.htm cheers bryan

uh, how about circa 2.75 billion humans

lovely pics there,i,ve got a soft spot for coastal scenes.bt the way can anyone name the ship please,i may be wrong but did,nt captain cook sail from whitby,i will have to wiki it

beaten to it as usual.as mentioned above another wimp like c24 sunspot from SIDC GEOALERT BRU056 UGEOA 30512 90225 1231/ 9930/ 10252 20252 30252 99999 PLAIN NOTE: the above forecasts are valid from 1230UT, 25 Feb 2009 until 27 Feb 2009 PREDICTIONS FOR 25 Feb 2009 10CM FLUX: 071 / AP: 003 PREDICTIONS FOR 26 Feb 2009 10CM FLUX: 071 / AP: 002 PREDICTIONS FOR 27 Feb 2009 10CM FLUX: 072 / AP: 005 COMMENT: Catania sunspot group 96, NOAA AR 1013 has emerged yesterday. Due to a low X-ray flux background (below the A level), we do not expect this sunspot group to produce a flare above the B level. The Earth is currently inside a slow (420 km/s) solar wind flow with weak (3-4 nT) interplanetary magnetic field. We thus expect quiet geomagnetic conditions.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 25 Feb 2009 to Friday 6 Mar 2009: On Wednesday southern areas will be mainly dry but northern areas are likely to have outbreaks of rain. Then Thursday should be a bit cooler and rather windy with the likelihood of scattered showers, especially in the north where they may turn wintry in places. Friday and Saturday should be mainly dry in the south but further rain or showers are likely in the north, these perhaps wintry in nature on hills, and accompanied by strong winds. The threat of rain will spread to southern areas on Sunday, and there is also an increasing frost risk as we head through the weekend. The unsettled theme is most likely to continue through the first week of March, with temperatures generally near or slightly below the seasonal average. Updated: 1200 on Fri 20 Feb 2009
