NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory Captured Trio of Solar Flares April 2-3
NASA ^ | April 2-3, 2017 | Staff

The sun emitted a trio of mid-level solar flares on April 2-3, 2017. The first peaked at 4:02 a.m. EDT on April 2, the second peaked at 4:33 p.m. EDT on April 2, and the third peaked at 10:29 a.m. EDT on April 3. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured images of the three events. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.

Then you know that global warming by man using SUV’s and jets and a/c (except from out betters like leo dicapio and al gore etc.) is the cause of the solar flares......

Well it is pretty awesome...

And I am a space (3D) topologists ,..And there is a difference between right hand knots and left hand knots ...

Of course in 2D no knots..

But I never see any knots in the flares....why is that...

And is there any rhythm or syncronation to those flares?

Women and minorities hardest hit.

And we all know the sun has nothing to do with Earth’s climate. Look at it up there, it’s no bigger than a postage stamp.
