Space Rumors

The entire earth-facing side of the sun exploded in a tumult of activity on August 1st, 2010. This image was taken from the solar dynamics observatory and this made the news on august 1st, which shows a solar tsunami (wave-like structure, upper right), c-3 class solar flare (white area on upper left), large scale shaking of the solar corona, multiple filaments of magnetism lifting off the stellar surface, a coronal mass ejection and more, radio bursts and more.

This snap-shot from the solar dynamics observatory having multi wavelength extreme ultraviolet shows the northern hemisphere in mid-eruption. Different gases at different temperatures can be seen in this image. The magnetic field of the earth is still reverberating due to the solar flare on august 3rd, 2010, which sparked lowa in the united states and aurorae as far south as Wisconsin. Experts believe that there will be a second flare following the first flare and can re-energize the vanishing geomagnetic storm and spark a new round of Northern lights.
