Sunspots the focus of lecture in Spalding

A professor who grew up on a Spalding farm is the next guest in Spalding Gentlemen’s Society lecture season on Friday (Jan 22).

PRO00001-Michael-ProctorProf Michael Proctor (pictured) will focus on the 22-year cyclic pattern of sunspots.

He said: “I shall talk about this cyclical behaviour, give some idea of how it may arise (the question is still controversial) and also talk about past and future periods when there was a ‘grand minimum’ with sunspots not appearing for many decades as at the end of the 17th century.”

The lecture is at Spalding Grammar School (8pm start, £2 admission).
