On historical precedent it could be any time in the next 2 years. We hope it will be in the next few months so that everyone can get a good view. “I’ll be watching every chance I get,” says Wesley. “The revival will likely be sudden and dramatic, with planet-circling groups of storms appearing over the space of just a week or so.” Indeed, says Orton, “anyone could be the first to spot the return of the SEB.”</blockquote>
