| zacksavage ~~Unbound~~ User ID: 2636566  United States10/04/2011 12:08 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That something in the middle is billions of tons of charged particles just waiting to fry your computer.... All of us have our own reasons as to why we're waiting here for sun doom to come our way. The irony is that when it does, we won't be able to talk about it. We'll be wearing our dead laptops on our heads as hats. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1819063 Interesting. I eat charged particles for breakfast. Hey,...did NiN's power go out again??

Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it. --- AUNG SAN SUU KYI, Freedom from Fear |

Tynemouth RNLI and an RAF Boulmer rescue helicopter were called out to search for a possible vessel in distress six miles from the coast. However, after an extensive search, it was found that the informant had mistaken the planet Jupiter for flares [link to www.bbc.co.uk] Thought this would be interesting read for you guys..

Region 1305 also decreased in size to 250 millionths and magnetic complexity to a Beta type group. All the other regions are small and quiet. There is a large spot appearing at the north-east limb, this could be the return of old region 1300 :newspotsoct4: Update from earlier this day: Region 1302 is now rotating out of view over the north-west limb It will be return around the 18th/19th of October A new region is rotating into view over the north-est limb. There is a region at 33 degrees south of the solar equator. This is the furthest south for a sunspot group to appear this cycle! :nesunspotupdateo: Image shows the new region at the north-east limb. So far this is only a single spot group |
