  • What's happening at 0:28 ?

  • If you look just a split second before the interference (though it would probably record as about 8 minutes on the real time clock), you'll see a flare directly in the line of the SOHO spacecraft, the interference is the result of this.

  • this was on my 3rd b-day!

  • huge!

  • is there ment to be a big solar flare in 2012

  • I clearly remember that night, we were outside and the whole sky lit up an eerie bright pink all night like the northern lights, we stayed outside to watch and after an hour we all got strange headaches and naseua like we never had before or after. Corona mass something it was called and these sun flares can cause big probs with electric things if they are big enough. I looked up the exposure we got was like having 10 x-rays. One happened when electric was new & it blew up towers.

  • The solar flare disrupted the radio signal.

  • possibly sunspot directed towards SOHO disrupting the picture?

  • shame its not like 24hrs long great clip, most of the surface looks inactive.

  • i think that was the mega flare?
