STARGAZERS were treated to the spectacular sight of a giant green dragon in the sky over Iceland earlier this month. Photographers captured the incredible formation in the northern lights – which Nasa explained was caused by a hole in the Sun. The snap was so impressive that Nasa released it as its 'Astronomy Picture of the Day' for February 18, 2019. The image – captured by photographers Jingyi Zhang and Wang Zheng – clearly shows an enormous dragon-like creature in the sky. Of course, Iceland natives don't have to worry about a real dragon in the sky. This was simply a lucky auroral formation that Nasa described as "surprising". In a post on the official Nasa website, astronomers explained that the dragon had come from a hole in the Sun – which isn't an uncommon occurrence. "The aurora was caused by a hole in the Sun's corona that expelled charged particles into a solar wind that followed a changing interplanetary magnetic field to Earth's magnetosphere," Nasa … [Read more...] about Nasa reveals giant green DRAGON in Iceland’s sky that came from hole in Sun

How rookie Sky Blues man impressed without kicking a ball
When Conor Chaplin failed to make Sunday’s high profile fixture against league leaders Luton Town due to injury it opened the door for another of Coventry City ’s youngsters to earn a first team squad number. Rookie striker David Bremang was promoted from the Under-23s to the senior set-up to provide a natural goal scorer on the bench at Kenilworth Road where he was handed the number 43. It was also a reward for the in-form teenager who joined the Sky Blues earlier this season and took time to settle, but who's found his feet in recent months to start rattling in the goals for Jason Farndon ’s development squad. Bremang didn’t get on and would probably only have been used by manager Mark Robins in a last resort emergency, as proved when Amadou Bakayoko went off injured just short of the half hour mark and midfielder Jordan Shipley was thrown on in his place, with Jordy Hiwula switching from his wide role to lead the line against the Hatters. Bremang would … [Read more...] about How rookie Sky Blues man impressed without kicking a ball
Giant green DRAGON in sky over Iceland came from a hole in the Sun
A huge green dragon that appeared in the sky over Iceland earlier this month came from a hole in the Sun, NASA has claimed. The incredible dragon-shaped aurora was captured by photographers Jingyi Zhang and Wang Zheng, and selected as NASA's astronomy picture of the day on February 18. The celestial display was so enthralling that the photographer's mother ran out to see it. She can be seen in the foreground of the picture, staring up at the sky in wonder. NASA explains that the dragon aurora was caused by a hole in the Sun's corona that expelled charged particles into a solar wind. This solar wind drifted away from the Sun through space, and was buffeted around the solar system by the magnetic fields of various planets, until it reached the Earth's magnetsopehere. When some of the charged particles from the Sun struck the Earth's atmosphere, they excited atoms which subsequently emitted light, known as aurora. "Imagine you have a bottle of fizzy drink, … [Read more...] about Giant green DRAGON in sky over Iceland came from a hole in the Sun
Sky Blues boss on keeping Premier League vultures at bay
Mark Robins insists Coventry City are no longer a “soft touch” when it comes to the Premier League vultures picking off their talented young Academy prospects. The Sky Blues have lost a number of players over the years without them even seeing the light of day in the first team. City lost highly-rated schoolboy midfielder Charlie McCann in January 2018 to Manchester United , the England Under-16 international moving to Old Trafford for an undisclosed fee. Back in the summer of 2016 Everton snapped up Academy striker Bassala Sambou after he rejected a new contract with his home town club. Sambou caught the eye with 25 goals, most of which came for the Under-18s in the league and FA Youth Cup, while he hit four in the Under-21s. James Maddison is another high profile player who, although broke into the first team, left the club before City really enjoyed the full benefits of his talent - sold to then top flight Norwich City. Robins, however, believes times are … [Read more...] about Sky Blues boss on keeping Premier League vultures at bay
Souness in on air bust-up with Sky Sports host David Jones as Liverpool legend blasts ‘why are you looking at me like that?’ during Man Utd coverage
LIVERPOOL favourite Graeme Souness appears to be cracking under pressure in the title race. The former Reds player and manager appeared to have an extraordinary pop at Sky Sports presenter David Jones following the draw at Old Trafford. Despite their dominance on the ball, Liverpool will feel like it was two points dropped in the race for the title after a 0-0 draw. Souness, often renowned for not mincing his words, was keen to get his opinion of the contest across to the rest of panel. After Jones asked him whether he thought Liverpool played well today, he responded: "I thought they did. "I thought they dominated the box and around the 18-yard box." But just as he was about to make another observation, he bizarrely stopped, stared at Jones and said: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you not agree with me?" Jones understandably looked stunned and briefly appeared to stutter on his words. He then looked across at the panel who were sitting in disbelief and muttered: "I was just … [Read more...] about Souness in on air bust-up with Sky Sports host David Jones as Liverpool legend blasts ‘why are you looking at me like that?’ during Man Utd coverage
