OVER THE HORIZON: Something bright and active on the far side of the sun is about to turn toward Earth. Magnetic loops towering over the eastern limb herald its approach:

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory took this picture during the early hours of July 26th. The bright glow revealed by SDO's extreme ultraviolet camera comes from million-degree plasma trapped by overlying magnetic fields. A sunspot is likely at the bottom of it all.

Or maybe two sunspots... NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is stationed over the sun's eastern limb, and it sees a pair of active regions approaching single file. The one peeking over the limb now is actually the smaller of the two. Readers with solar telescopes should train their optics here.

Can't do a story like this without a picture.

[Mr. K]

It would have been much worse if Obambi was not in charge

So should we plant early? Late? Winter crop?

[Farmer Dean]

Start early,avoid the rush.

Doesn’t it take 8 minutes from the light of the sun to get to earth so if we see it, it should be here in 8 minutes.

[Past Your Eyes]

Is this going to interfere with me DVRing The Three Stooges?

[edcoil]

Or it just stationary.
