Children's videos..... Throw in some adult's science.... Novice sky watchers... funny! Everyone not working for the agency turns out to be "novice" hilarious! What compounds? Care to name them.

How did you guess? Actually, the sun made a brief appearance this afternoon, and last week it shone for the best part of one day and I photographed the spots and a flare.

Do you live in England or something?

Racism should be the last thing discussed here. Take that garbage elsewhere.
