Probably due to right wing politics and individual freedom. Must be man made./SAR What do these dumbsh**s expect to do about something like that if it really is happening? I guess this is the new scare to replace global warming now that it is dead. Has anyone noticed you hardly hear anything about “climate change” now, it seems to have died a quiet death over the last several weeks and now we have deadly radiation to worry about.

Last line of the article:

““It is likely that there are natural variations in solar wind pressure and over time it will either stabilise or start going back up.”

NASA's STEREO satellite captured the first images ever of a collision between a solar "hurricane", called a coronal mass ejection (CME), and a comet on April 4, 2007. The collision caused the complete detachment of the comet's plasma tail. Comets are icy leftovers from the solar system's formation billions of years ago. They usually hang out in the cold, distant regions of the solar system, but occasionally a gravitational tug from a planet, another comet, or even a nearby star sends them into the inner solar system. Once there, the sun's heat and radiation vaporizes gas and dust from the comet, forming its tail. Comets typically have two tails, one made of dust and a fainter one made of electrically conducting gas, called plasma. (NASA/STEREO)

Sun's protective 'bubble' is shrinking

[fortunecookie]

Wow, I’d better get my carbon offset fees mailed in! It’s clear that our earth’s untamed pollution has far reaching effects, now we’ve reduced the sun’s shields! Oh, Leo and algore were right! /sarc

will be launched from an aircraft on Sunday on a Pegasus rocket into an orbit 150,000 miles above the Earth

Isn't Pegasus the satellite killer designed for the F-14? Wow it can put a bird up 150,000 miles, that puts geostationary birds well within range. Take that Chi-Coms.
