Today’s hot topic.

Ping!

These solar activities affect everything on Earth.

Except the climate, apparently.

Today’s hot topic.

Oh ... you just 'burn me up' with your sense of humor ;-)

blues and greens are hotter (greater than 1 million Kelvin)

Big deal. The Earth's core is that hot.

[Obadiah]

Wow, that’s amazing!

[silverleaf]

excellent comment, and why I am hooked on Free Republic

[central_va]

I had marbles as a kid that looked like that picture of the sun. Clearly, since the sun is turning a shade of blue it is getting colder. /sarc

[Ulysse]

i am a sun “worshiper”!

Obaama is the sun enlightening retard ignorant crowds

It’s a BIG hot mama, too. 108 Earth’s, side by side, to cover its face.

“I’m so proud of our brilliant work force at Goddard, which is rewriting science textbooks once again.” said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md

What if they start rewriting everything we learned from Al Gore on climate science? Would Senator Mikulski still be proud enough to call these scientists brilliant?

[Buckeye McFrog]

well, if NASA’s new mission is to get all worked-up over Global Warming, at least they are finally looking in the right place

[MrB]

“Blaming” the sun for climate change
offers absolutely no opportunity for

leftist self-aggrandizement.

Blaming human activity, however,
is rife with such opportunity.

Thus we expose the actual goals of the leftist,
and they have nothing to do with
“saving the erf”.

Not THAT is a gorgeous picture.

I thought the Sun is a burning sphere of gas. How does it have a “surface?”

[sig226]

That depends on how much of a paycheck she gets out of it. There’s an algebra formula for it. I think Isaac Newton figured it out.

[Danae]

WOO HOO Get u’r Geek On!

These are amazing. Beautiful.

[Bean Counter]

Wow! Just WOW!

It sure didn’t take long for this mission to amaze, did it?? I’ll be very interested to see what they have found a year from now...

It isn’t really gas it’s plasma which isn’t really a solid, liquid, or gas.

Besides surface can be a relative term when dealing with the boundary between various soquidas’s. ;)
