  • Hot damn, the Real Thing!


    See that bright object above that looks like a frontal head-on view of the Starship Enterprise against our green (re-colored) Sun?  That, my friends, is a superheated particle cloud 13 times the size of the Earth and hurtling through space at 5 million miles per hour.  What's more...


    "It's headed straight for us like a freight train," said John Kohl, a solar astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "This is the real thing."


    Hehe.  Move over 'Reality TV'.  I'll be out, weather and sky-conditions permitting, Aurora-hunting tonight.    <-- (any resemblance between this 'face' and the Sun above is more than a coincidence )


    Update:  Yet another eruption from the same source of sunspots (486) has just occurred.  It has already reached Earth (Thursday afternoon).  It's also a super class (X-class) storm,  Astronomers are also watching two other sets of sunspots for potentially hazardous emissions.  This is really freaky.
