A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUN'S ATMOSPHERE Stretching more than halfway across the face of the sun is turning toward Earth.
There is a "coronal hole"--a region in the sun's atmosphere where the magnetic field has opened up, allowing solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole could reach Earth as early as Jan. 4th (Jan. 5th is more likely), sparking G1-class geomagnetic storms. Polar sky watchers should be alert for auroras later this week.

I sure wouldn’t put it past them to use it as an excuse as to why we need to have Obama remain. No doubt McCain & Graham will support that move as well. 8>)

The only solution is global governance and higher taxes.
Wait, that’s ALWAYS the “only solution”!

“coronal hole” ?
Say that 3 times real fast.
To: tired&retired
I thought something similar happened in 2012.

My guess is Sunny Delight doesn't come out of the Coronal Hole.

The difference is that you have a tool in your hand that can access every kind of documentation on just about any subject you can ever conceive of. You have instant and personal access to more info than was ever held in Library of Alexandria.
