To celebrate this nation’s terrorist way of freeing itself from the chains of a larger oppressor, the I-Sun is having a fit.
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has recorded no fewer than five CMEs blasting out of the sun’s atmosphere. No wonder its been so damn hot out lately. Good thing for us that those blasts where not aimed our way. Thank you Jesus.
Sunspot 1084, although a stable sunspot, has a very fabulous swirl of hot gas and magnetic energy spinning around it like hot Wookie mess in drag caught up on a turntable.
Thanks to the folks over at NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory for this fantastic UV image showing that something this flaming has to have a rainbow.
Summertime brings longer days and in some places the sun doesn’t set. This means that aurora storms above the arctic circle are not visible in the night sky. From the looks of this picture taken at 1 AM, I’d say its a pretty fair trade.
No, thats not the morning after shot of your drunken hook up date from the Double L last night in Rehoho Beach. It’s I-Sun’s newest sunspot-Sunspot 1084.
Sunspot 1084 is roughly the size of I-Earth. It is located on the I-Sun’s southeastern limb. So far 1084 has been quiet, however that could change if the spot’s magnetic field becomes unstable.
Sorry folks this was a week late in posting. I had to listen to the whole thing the whole way through and clean it up!
Here it is in all it’s glory:
Sound quality is ‘eh… so so’ but … the point is there (whatever that may be).
In summary, listen to a recording of a bunch of people having a good time bullshitting.
Podcast participants this time are: Bitchin Bob, Chad, Mysterious Denise, South Philly Sammy, Will, Mark ‘the meat whisperer’, Birthday Brenty, Johnny D, and Glorious Greg.
The I-Sun must have gotten its prescription for Valtrex filled cause Sunspot 1081 has cleared up. Sunspot 1082 is still flaring, however its position on the I-Sun offers no threat to the I-Earth. (Trademarking that as well as I-Sun. Take that Steve Jobs.)
The folks aboard the International Space Station snapped these pics last month when a CME lit up the I-Earth over the Indian Ocean like a club kid on E with glow sticks. (Do they still do that?)
The next solar wind storm is scheduled to hit I-Earth’s magnetic field on 26 Jun…so watch out for dropped calls and straight to voice mail phone issues….
The I-Sun is having a flare up. Sunspot 1082 is erupting with small flares. These flares are what scientists classify as “B-Class” flares. These flares explode with the magnitude of about 10 million atomic bombs.
The real nasty I-Sun sunspot flare ups are the “X-Class” flares. These flares explode with an intensity that is thousands of times greater then the “B-Class” flares, and are the types of solar flares that will burn off our ozone layer and cause us to have a really…really bad day. Scientists predict that the those type of flares will become more common once the I-Sun hits its Solar Maximum in 2013.
So start digging your underground I-Sun protection pod today.
Are you wondering…”Why did that call go right to voice mail?” Space Weather thats why. The Earth is getting lit up by a solar wind storm that is kicking up some impressive geomagnetic activity.
The folks at NOAA, when not monitoring the oil spill, estimate a 60% chance of more geomagnetic activity tonight as the solar wind continues to blow.
It’s time to start wrapping the tin foil around your head cause I-Sun (I have renamed the Sun in honor of Steve Jobs) is about to enter into its “Active” phase.
Increased solar activity means the possibility of finding ourselves back to the time of our ancestors. This is why space weather is the most important weather on the web.
Also, you may want to stock up on the sun screen…
No Steve Jobs, that failure to connect may not have been your 4G network…we call it the I-Sun and NOAA is predicting a 60% chance on geomagnetic activity due to some solar wind hitting the Earth’s magnetic field.
And just in case you forgot how living in a star’s atmosphere works sometimes (that means you Steve Jobs), here ya go:
