The solar orbiter (which has been designed to learn much more about our nearest star) is now in space (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/feb/07/solar-orbiter-spacecraft-will-capture-the-suns-north-and-south-poles). Although we need more information on the sun's fluctuations, it will actually take 2 years for the craft to arrive in the right position to take readings. Furthermore, a balancing act is required to get close enough to obtain the needed data, without wrecking the delicate instruments.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
