We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
As Galileo might, or might not, have said. Even during Solar Minimum, which is where we are now. [Image from SOHO btw – Ed] Anyway, as part of our secularist education campaign [*ahem* – Ed], some wondrous images of recent solar activity – avi file here – and via SpaceWeather.com, even more recently, a “tsunami-like shock wave rolling across the visible face of the Sun[mpg file] following a major flare event on Wednesday, Dec. 6″, seen in detail here[mov file] [Credit: NSO/AURA/NSF and USAF Research Laboratory – Ed].. Oh and some older images from the man himself. [Normal programming will resume shortly – Ed]
