If you have clear skies & a way to observe the Sun safely, perhaps with eclipse glasses or by projecting through binoculars as I’ve done here, have a look: the huge sunspot group AR4079, is putting on a lovely show 🌞

A multi-spot group with dark umbral cores & a very large penumbra around them 🙂👍

The smaller AR4076 is visible too.

Before prevalent social media, a static webpage and a few mailing lists could shake a brand.

My 1999 #Swatch #Protest archive shows how amateur radio operators used hand-coded HTML, listserv chains, and Usenet newsgroups to stop Swatch’s #satellite from advertising on their radio frequencies.
