Solar Activity Continues To Increase
In addition to two very active sunspots, this huge solar flare erupted this week.
From SOHO:
A very long solar filament that had been snaking around the Sun erupted (Dec. 6, 2010) with a flourish. STEREO (Behind) caught the action in dramatic detail in extreme ultraviolet light of Helium. It had been almost a million km long (about half a solar radius) and a prominent feature on the Sun visible over two weeks earlier before it rotated out of view. Filaments, elongated clouds of cooler gases suspended above the Sun by magnetic forces, are rather unstable and often break away from the Sun.

How the left sees NOT raising taxes . . .

–Barack Obama, who continues to call preventing tax hikes “tax cuts”
What a steaming log!
