The green square (image on the left) shows the region of the Orion nebula where an intensely powerful solar flare took place.
On Nov. 20, 2016, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Transient Survey Team recorded no flare (top right image); six days later,
a bright burst of plasma and radiation had blasted from the same spot and was already dimming from its most peak brightness (bottom right image).

Clarification: that bright patch in the sword is not the flare, it's the Orion Nebula.

Why? Because astronomy is western, phallo-centric, patriarchal, classist, intellectually rigorous and therefore non-PC. This needs to be in your toolkit to be a cultured conservative, and so you can give the secret passwords at meetings.

Because it’s another terrible result of Climate Change. Now even distant galaxies are effected.
So quit yer complaining and go write your Congressperson. Tell him/her to embrace AOC’s Green New Deal without delay.

Orion is about the only constellation that actually looks like its supposed portrayal, minus the head.

I’m confused. His sword is above his head, which would be “north” to me (article says south of his belt). Below his belt is a scabbard. So where is the stellar eruption?
