Explanation: What's happening to our Sun? Another Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)! The Sun-orbiting SOHO spacecraft has imaged many erupting filaments lifting off the active solar surface and blasting enormous bubbles of magnetic plasma into space. Direct light from the sun is blocked in the inner part of the above image, taken in 2002, and replaced by a simultaneous image of the Sun in ultraviolet light. The field of view extends over two million kilometers from the solar surface. While hints of these explosive events, called coronal mass ejections or CMEs, were discovered by spacecraft in the early 70s, this dramatic image is part of a detailed record of this CME's development from the presently operating SOHO spacecraft. Near the minimum of the solar activity cycle CMEs occur about once a week, but near solar maximum rates of two or more per day are typical. Strong CMEs may profoundly influence space weather. Those directed toward our planet can have serious effects.

we get warnings from our cable station on days when there will be solar flares - possibilities of outtages...they are beautiful to glance at.
Of course you don't want to be in a plane when they hit earth... it's like getting the radiation dose of a chest x-ray...
That's an amazing picture. Are most of the effects weather related or is there health risks associated with these CME'S?
Looks like FJ answered that question:>)
WOW! Picture snagged, Eyes! :) It will be in my Fractured Friday post this week, with a hat tip to you, of course. Thanks!
Fantastic pic!
Speaking of the sun... pretty soon you're going to need to wear your old 3-D movie glasses to appreciate the pictures. This satellite-pair launched last fall. I can't wait to see the pictures. ;-)
THAT will be awesome.
I'm the kind of hombre who passions to try different things. Presently I'm fabricating my personal solar panels. I am making it all by myself without the assistance of my men. I am utilizing the internet as the only path to acheive that. I encountered a truly awesome site which explains how to contruct pv panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.
I am not sure bout how correct the info given there is. If some experts over here who had xp with these works can have a look and give your feedback in the page it will be awesome and I would really treasure it, cauze I extremely love [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].
