that would be me ^^....big pain in the ass right
....mind you we may even see some northern lights in england 
bit mind boggling to think you can fit 10-15 earths in the width of that spot on the sun o.O

Our luck is going to run out one day with that big yeller bastards outbursts, I remember how easily it screwed Western Canada about 1982ish.

yeah i reckon solar flares will probably be the most likely cause of teotwawki, well next to humanities own stupidness
oh and heres a video of the sun, not sure if its the current solar flare or the one 6 days ago, either way it puts things in perspective, and its rather beautiful

What is reallt mind boggling is the sheer scale of the solar system, never mind our galaxy and other galaxys.

right, lets see:"According to Goddard Space Weather Lab CME will hit earth on July 14th at 10.20a.m. +7 hours for non americans" now if my maths is up to speed that means it will hit the UK in about 30 minutes time!!! WELL ITS BEEN NICE KNOWING YOU ALL!!

Every time i think I've got my mind around the awesome massiveness of the universe someone just shows me the Hubble Ultra deep field image and it fries my brain, I just cannot comprehend the numbers, speeds and distances. I've often sat and stared at the DFI for hours trying to understand that this image containing 3500 galaxies and over a trillion stars was taken by just pointing the Hubble at a pinhead sized spec of space than had no known galaxies in it, and the camera was left on for a week to capture every last photon of light from this tiny spec of empty space................

one of my favourites is factors of ten!
oh and this
the universe is so big ive given up trying to comprehend it, i used to try and imagine as far as i could, needless to say it was a fruitless effort!...ive since stopped focusing on anything outside the closest few solar systems xD.....as for small things, i like my quantum physics, so gimme those neutrino's and quarks!....or if your into susy, those sneutrino's and squarks xD
i also love the idea that it takes light millions of years to get to us from other stars, just seems sort of amazing to me

oh hell, it didnt happen then did it? if we panicked every time someone( usually the Yanks..they are permanently paranoid anyway)says something will happen we would be in a permanent state of panic!
RE: X rated CME number 2 heading this way - Hrusai - 15 July 2012
lol i just sat around and chatted and then went to sleep, nothings happened so its all good
all that bluster for nothing xD
