Solar blast heading towards earth!

(hat-tip Marty Mars)











"Get ready for a light show - it will drag you away from the TV, it will drag you away from your light interiors, you will gravitate towards the dark, the night. And within the night many things become manifest. An opportune time to think." says Marty.

Canterbury University astronomer Alan Gilmore adds:

A large "blob" of supercharged solar gas is hitting the Earth around now but one of the country's leading astronomers says it is nothing to fear.

This was a very rare event - not one, but two almost simultaneous eruptions from different locations on the sun were launched toward the Earth.
