tholmes Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Given my interest in astronomy, I found this fascinating. It seems that the sun is angry. A massive CME (coronal mass ejection) has hit the Earth's atmosphere, producing spectacular aurorae at high latitudes. http://news.discovery.com/space/big-pic-spectacular-aurora-norway-120123.html Tom Quote
Super User Marty Posted January 25, 2012 Super User Posted January 25, 2012 Agree. My son visits spaceweather.com every day and often sends me links to Aurora pictures, most of which were shot in Norway. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 25, 2012 Super User Posted January 25, 2012 Could you just imagine lying on the ground, staring up at the stars stoned or way drunk, and all off sudden that CME happens. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 25, 2012 Super User Posted January 25, 2012 Bassin Blvd, why am I not surprised at your post? Great reply. Only you would think of something that funny regarding this post. That would make for a great scene in a movie. Quote
