The agency's twin stereo crafts "Behind" and "Ahead" filmed the star between September 26 and September 27. Nasa says that the eruption was one of "prominences" - That means clouds of cooler gas suspended above the Sun's surface by magnetic forces. The eruption was so large that both the spacecraft were able to observe the sensation for hours on end, one of the first times this has occurred. It all came to an end eventually though, and the cloud lifted up, broke away and headed into outer space.[/quote] [url=http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20091014/video/vwl-rare-footage-of-the-sun-erupting-15af341.html]Video[/url]
The sun farted. So what? But seriously, it's kind of cool. Rate me UPS Warehouses. :v:

Proof of 2012 being the end. Sun has an orgasm.

I was under the impression the sun was one big constant eruption.
Solar flares are pretty sweet.
Hot sun porn.

This, however, is relatively rare. This is what they are showing in the video.

Doesn't this happen all the time ?
[QUOTE=General J;17832279]Doesn't this happen all the time ?[/QUOTE] It used to, but ever since 1980s, the sun has dimmed and there are less sola flairs
They enjoyed the [i]sensation[/i] for hours :smug:
I was disappointed there... I thought the newspaper had finally gone bankrupt. [img]http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/sun.jpg[/img]
Did anyone else think of 2012 apocolypse when they saw this? :D
[QUOTE=Yahnich;17828693]Knowing is happening.[/QUOTE] The funny thing about this is that this is the period of time Knowing took place in (10/15 - 10/19)
