Im' still a little bemused by the Ferocity and sheer volume of CME's of late

although you have reassured me that 2-4 Ejections Per-Day is within the realm of Normal for this part of the Cycle..but Something doesnt' quite seem correct when I watch the Gif Files of C2/C3/Stereo A + B..Are you sure the Sun isnt' Ejecting more mass than Normal!?

[drkstrong]

@BrodyLuv2 Go to the SOHO website and look at its gallery of videos and see what the LASCO data looked like in 2000-2002

their is a little dark spot on the sun...

[drkstrong]

@438doug There are lots of them - anyone in particular?

[wormywelshdude]

i dident ask you how long it took scientist to find out about solar max or you trying to belittle me again. i sead ive seen a difference between the sun from the first time i started watching your videos and what gear you would put solar max in compard to now .im not a scientist but you can clearly see theres more going on with the sun than when i first started watching your videos .now are you going to answer my question or give me another make me out stuppid answer back.

[drkstrong]

@wormywelshdude No, I am not.

[BrodyLuv2]

They look to be Untwisting to me as they form what appears as helical vortexes from the Interacting Fields separating funneling the Plasma back down to the 'Surface' of the Sun.

[neutrino422]

@drkstrong right, that's exactly what i meant. Laugh in silence LIS!

[a27936]

@drkstrong a little....ok if you say so!!

[drkstrong]

@branja12 Only been there once for a scientific confence many years ago - lovely city.

[drkstrong]

@Valthepixie OK, Good
