American NASA to discuss data from the joint NASA and European Space
Agency Ulysses mission that reveals the sun's solar wind is at a
50-year low. The sun's current state could result in changing
conditions in the solar system.

It appears some worldly scientists
know extreme planet changes are imminent !!! Regards John

Finally a new Sunspot forming !

Brian, FB on your HRO'a.  Hope you get your stuff up and running.

Re the Shuttles; I do know that NASA wants the last Hubble repair mission to succeed.  Making sure there are no snafus.  Guess the second shuttle is for that rather than for rescue but don't know for sure.

About the sun.  Here's today's white light (still the traditional count) pix. regardless of what's seen in Ha., K, or magnetograms, etc.
This has been the longest period, over a month, since the 1500's with zero spot count.

Dumm, dum, dum, dummmmm.

The reason for both shuttles is that because the Hubble is in a higher orbit than the ISS, and that there is a lot of space 'debris' in that orbit, there is a risk of damage to the orbiter. If in fact something happens to the orbiter the other shuttle can be sent up with in a matter of 3 days for a rescue mission. This isn't the first time they had two space craft on the pad.

They also don't have the space station to go to while waiting for a rescue.

Something must have shown up yesterday, but in to-day's bulletin,

Yesterday's "proto-sunspots" have faded away leaving the sun blank.

But according to this, nothing.
