"There's a Little Black Spot On the Sun Today"

Always keeping in mind sunspots themselves don't mean much, their importance is as indicators of underlying solar activity.
Here's a down and dirty cover of the source of today's headline.

And from  severe-weather.EU ‏'s Twitter feed:

*Space Weather* Sunspot! After 27 spotless days, several tiny little sunspots emerged right on the eastern solar limb. Not much, but it's something. 73% of 2019 has been spotless so far, matching the previous solar minimum in 2008. Image: NASA SDO pic.twitter.com/mGdkAq3cxH

Also from severe-weather.EU, a question of nomenclature:

*Polar* A large iceberg, designated D28, measuring ~1582 km2 has calved from the Amery ice shelf in the last days of September. The iceberg is the size of London!

In the U.S. the units of comparison are either Rhode Island or Manhattan but in the U.K. I always thought the unit of measurement was Wales. Multiples i.e." twice the size Wales", or fractions of Wales "half the size of Wales"—a demi-Wales on down to a one-eighth Wales, a hemi-demi-semi Wales if you will.
