Sun Gazing and X Flares

The latest videos I've been editing feature Dr Chris Davis - a space scientist at RAL Space who primarily works on data from the STEREO spacecraft.

There are a few more films to come from Chris, which I'll be uploading to YouTube very soon.

Is there any indication that this is a reality and if so how does this affect your planning and predictions?

    The ICC World Cup 2011 will be co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh; the venues in these countries have been finalised. Orginally, Pakistan were also co-hosts with some matches to be held in that country. www.scorespro.com
