I don't know if it's faked or some kind of energy mass forming a sphere. Anyone have an explanation?

    That's amazing! I looked last night, couldn't see any cool lights in the sky on the horizon, but the moon had a cool halo around it.

      Well of course you didn't see it last night silly...the Sun is only out in the DAY time! :p



      Actually, I worked with a young guy who told me his new wife (early 20's) and he were discussing this sort of thing once, and up until he explained it, she had thought the Moon, was the Sun (same planet) but that you could just see it easier at night because it was cooler outside...(yeah - he was kind of surprised too :rolleyes


      A solar physicist walks into a bar, gets the bartender's attention, and says "I'd like a Mexican beer, please."
      The bartender immediately begins shouting "OK, everybody out! Right now! Everyone out of the bar!" And he herds all the patrons out into the street, slamming the door behind them.

      The solar physicist shakes his head ruefully. "Darn," he says, "I should have seen that Corona mass ejection coming!" (By the way, it goes without saying that the bar is in SoHo*.)

        I wonder if he knew the dyslexic physicist who walked into a bra?

        Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

          I've walked into a few tricky bras myself...fortunately for me, I was able to out-wit them single-handedly, by going behind their back! :rolleyes:

    Possibly a storm such as the one on Jupitor? I'm sure the winds from that star are incredible.

    There's a site that allows anyone to be a solar researcher. It trains people to look at footage of areas of the sun and report any anomalies they see. They list the types of anomalies to look for and explain them. You can do that for an hour or two or do it daily - however much you want. The results help scientists piece together what is going on. Now if I could just remember the name of the site. I'd have to google it again - will do that when I get a chance, but if you want to find it, you might want to try that. Not sure keywords? "monitor the sun"? "solar research"? "solar study"? "help scientists study sun"? It's out there somewhere.

      Hell of a storm. The biggest and roundest one I've ever seen.:confused:

    There was a report at GLP explaining this. Can't remember what it was, but it seems there is one rational explanation

    No alien doom... for now.

      Bravo,

      While watching the news last week when there were the solar flares they were monitoring, they showed a shot very similar to the video you posted and explained that it was actually the equivalent to a tornado we experience here, although much much larger.

      They explained it was formed by a cooler air mass meeting with a hot air mass with the same results as when cold fronts and warm fronts collide here.

    If it is a solar storm, then it is the freakiest one I've ever seen and I have been following solar activity for years.

    Well, whatever it is, I hope it's not heading in our direction.
