Coronal Mass Ejection Hits Earth 154
astroengine writes "On Tuesday, the Earth was hit by a coronal mass ejection (CME), triggering a 'moderate' geomagnetic storm, igniting aurorae at high latitudes. The CME in question was launched from the sun early on Sunday and space weather scientists predicted its arrival on Aug. 3 — the vast magnetic bubble of solar plasma arrived on schedule."

Damn it, we need to shoot back. Don't let the Sun see us flinch, make sure that we retaliate in kind!

I read this article without my glasses on. I was a bit disturbed that a conjugal mass erection hit the earth.

You know nothing of this event do you.
You could SEE the fricking sunspot on the sun. at sunrise you could see it with the naked eye. and if you know anything about sunspots you know that they WILL collapse and cause a CME.
You know absolutely nothing about astronomy, stop talking. It's making you look like either Glenn Beck or a Retard...

A friend of mine is a Mason and he said it's next wednesday at 4:35pm. Unfortunately the Holy Grail will not be available as it's currently in their vaults awaiting re-release after a hiatias to drum up more interest..
I guess the Aliens from area 51 stole the thunder out of seeing the holy grail, and a dumbass in the dayton Ohio Temple drank from it when they last had it and his head melted.

Aw, great, astrometeorologists, with bad hair pieces and stupid patter.
He smiles at the camera, then tells a little joke
He always says it's sunny if the telestrator's broke
Thinks clouds are made of cotton and are blown up to the sky,
But he's got a steady income as a TV weather guy
"They say I'm not qualified to be on the TV
Don't know Fahrenheit from Celsius so I just say 'degrees'
I just read the temperature and make up a bunch of lies
and end up being right more than the guy on channel 5."
