Style note

Thanks to jrittenhouse, who linked to this, I have now tweaked my style to fix the tag-list problem with Firefox 3.5.

Finally!

Active region 11024, currently visible on the Sun, may be the closest thing to a real active region we've seen yet in the new solar cycle; the leading spot has a penumbra and everything! It's even managed a couple of C-class (aka, feeble but noticeable) flares in the last couple of days, the first we've seen in months.

This claim that an upcoming surge in solar activity has been predicted by crop circle, however, had my colleagues and me boggling and rolling our eyes. It's a very nice crop circle, but who comes up with these things?
