NASA released images of a powerful solar flare that unleashed an eruption of super-heated plasma from the surface of the sun before blasting into space. The flare was recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft, which is part of a 5-year mission focused on the sun. NASA described the eruption as "a beautiful prominence eruption producing a coronal mass ejection," known as a CME. It was not directed towards Earth. Extremely powerful CMEs can pose a danger to astronauts and satellites in space, as well as power grids, navigation and communications systems on Earth.

    Мощным потоком "жидкого стула"

    Солнышко радостно в нас блевануло!

    Этой блевотины яркий кусочек-

    В комнате вижу я-скушав грибочек!..)

    It is amazing that people can still have a debate about religion and politics while watching the sun having a solar flare.

    This looks like the exit point of comet love joy when it hit the sun Dec 2011! Comet Love joy is why we have new holes in our sun and I think, is why all these x class cme's are coming to fuck up our world! Now I am no scientist but it all makes sense to me. Comet love joy punched through our sun Dec, 2011 and we are having sunspot/big x flare issues this year, Scientists have warned, extreme weather events for 2013, and crazy weather and a lot of weird shit last year!

    People seem to be able to do that while doing just about anything. Hell, I bet they can have a religious debate with nobody around, while doing nothing.
