PhiliPamInCoventry Holbrooks Thread starter	46 of 231Sun 14th Jul 2013 10:29pm Hi all, I am posting to you on my bunker laptop & have just notice the setting, slightly crescent, moon low in the western sky. Notice the dark side, how it is actually being lit-up by light being reflected from our planet earth.

Dreamtime Perth Western Australia	47 of 231Mon 15th Jul 2013 4:54am Morning Philip,About the slightly crescent moon, as it belongs to all of us, I noticed Saturday night it was a very a 'skinny' crescent moon and I have never noticed it like that before. That was around 10.30 in this part of the world. Happy stargazing.

morgana the secret garden	49 of 231Wed 7th Aug 2013 10:16am Thank you Philip for the link, they have stated that when spots appear on the sun we as a rule get worse weather didn't the Mayan foretell our climate change.I can't get the first video up on that link, it keeps buffering, so here is another which explains. I notice how it mentions about the magnetic field, I have read that the earth's magnetic field is weakened by humans digging up and moving too much of iron ore around the plant. I have also noticed hardly any birds about compared to last year at this time.Clip 2 from the BBC documentary 'the Sun'.

PhiliPamInCoventry Holbrooks Thread starter	52 of 231Sat 10th Aug 2013 12:07am Hi Dutchman I hope not . There is a link to an explanation on a previous post of mine & happens every eleven years. It can mess around with communication satellites, & it did once disrupt power supplies in Canada, but I do not know of any other serious issues. Hope you ok.

dutchman Spon End	53 of 231Sat 10th Aug 2013 12:28am I'm okay thank you Philip What I learned from that video that I didn't know before was that the Sun's magnetic field protects us from cosmic radiation so if it fails for any reason we're all dead Still, we've all gotta go sometime Philip so it may as well be in a blaze of glory!

morgana the secret garden	54 of 231Sat 10th Aug 2013 12:46pm I would be more worried about Planet X link 1 or link 2, even more worried of man's intervention like blowing up mountains on the moon to get fuel

scrutiny coventry	59 of 231Tue 13th Aug 2013 8:23am Hi all, Sunday night I stayed at it for about 2 hrs. In that time I seen 5, 2 of them really good streaks across the sky. Some were that small I discounted them as I only caught glimpses of them. You need to look straight up, not towards the horizon. They appear to be coming in from the north-north east. Also last night the ISS came over from out of the west, very bright for about 5 mins. Tonight the ISS is due at 22.12 pm, lasting approx 5 mins also from the westerly direction. Time is exact so keep watching, although you might waste a minute finding it. Happy Meteor hunting.

My garden is very dark, is yours dark Philip, as it does make a difference.
