Solar tsunami


Isn't it amazing that we can now look at an x-ray image of the sun?! This week some boffins with large telescopes (presumably wearing very dark sunglasses) spotted a solar storm on the surface of the sun that resulted in massive amounts of plasma (solar gases!) being hurtled towards us, causing a spectacular light show in some northern regions.. Scary or what.... Or is this just a picture of a ballbearing that someone's heated up to a couple of thousand degrees...? Hmmmm.

  1. Hi Ranter. Looks like a half-sucked gobstopper to me. Don't believe scientists.
