I have been monitoring this on the NASA channel. They have been showing images taken from the SOHO spacecraft, which are interesting. These flares are the largest ever recorded.

Art Bell was discussing solar flares last night. Scientists are rumored to be "concerned" about solar flare activity and excessive cosmic dust storms entering our solar system. We will just have to wait and see.

I've got my tin foil hat on so I'm not worried...

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Glad that's out of the way, now we can get back to discussing Scott Peterson and Kobe.

Um, on a scale of x-ness, is 8 or 9 very high?

This solar maximum was supposed to end in 2000. Maybe the sun is going through "Global Warming".....

The sun is blasting giant flares out at the earth in anger, and some of us are worried about inhaling helium from party balloons.

From NOAA Space Weather.

A large coronal hole is due to return on 09 – 18 November and is expected to produce major storm levels.

Is old Sol getting ready to do a Flare Out...

I wish the people on the Sun would implement some type of Kyoto Treaty-- there is way too much Solar Warming going on.
