Solar Something-or-other

Some of you might remember I have a friend that runs a solar education/outreach program. He and the rest of the solar astronomy world are in a tizzy because the sun had some type of spectacular eruption this morning. The video is pretty amazing.





For those that want to go geek, I’d recommend Spaceweather.com. The site is slower than Christmas but you can classify your solar flares, radiation storms and Coronal mass ejections until your heart’s content.
