Q: What is the difference between “a huge chunk of the sun broke off” and “a large solar flare?”

A: A “journalism” major vs. a reporter with an eighth grade understanding of science.

Can a solar flare affect us here on earth? Sure, if it’s big enough and pointed our way. This is why those of us in the know keep aluminum foil and duct tape on hand. The main problem, of course, is that women and minorities are always most affected.

If it was not so obviously an overreach, this could be added to the excessive list of things said to be evidence of or caused by Climate Change

A veritable whirling dervish it is. Lo be the day when they shout “Thar she blows!”. Then somebody will be wishing for glow bull warming.

In watching this video I did not see anything “break off”. I saw a sun burst or solar flare but no debris. Did I miss something?

Just a little ol’fart. Sun farts from time to time. Just as long as it doesn’t fart in our direction, we’ll be fine.

Not exactly what happened. These “experts” have been studying the sun for decades and they still dob’t understand what is going on.
