An M1.7 solar flare took place yesterday peaking at 18:12 UTC. The eruption was combined with what looks like a filament eruption around sunspot region 3283 which is located near the center of the earth-facing solar disk

Will these bloody things ever be withdrawn from frontline service? The good old BUFFs, I wonder if they will still belch out black soot, what with their new fancy engines?!

I'm hoping that someone with a bigger brain than I, cab help me decide on an electric heater for a small studio flat?

My choice is between a 1200W Halogen heater & a 1500W oil-filled radiator. Both have pluses & minuses, but I think the latter maybe the better option. Not cheaper to run in short blasts, but something that would be more economical to keep a room at an average temperature & on constantly?

Who knew that choosing a bloody heater, would involve 'complex' maths!?😂
