For your education and awe...

In spite of solar minimum, there seems to be plenty of action on the sun," reports amateur astronomer Peter Schlatter of Wohlen, Switzerland, who yesterday witnessed a spectacular vortex swirling on the sun's eastern horizon.
Indeed, the limb of the sun is where the action is. "A huge prominence emerged today looking like a monster rising from a sea of fire," reports David Leong of Hong Kong. None of this activity is explosive or threatens to cause geomagnetic storms on Earth--it's just a pretty show.
Man could never create or prevent this display.
For your education and awe...
Solar activity is low and geomagnetic is normal so what happens?
Spring! with all the thunderstorms and static crashes. Doh!
Is he seeing a “Host” in the sun?
