From Spaceweather:

SOLAR FLARES: Today, June 12th at 0055 UT, new sunspot 1081 unleashed an impulsive M1-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast in high-resolution:

The explosion hurled a billion-ton coronal mass ejection (CME) off the sun’s western limb; the cloud will probably not hit Earth. The explosion also produced a Type II radio burst. “Although the Sun was setting here in New Mexico, I was able to record the burst at 28 MHz and 24 MHz,” says amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft. “Here is an audio file. The slow swoosh is radio noise from the sun!”

A solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole is expected to hit Earth on or about June 16th

Ok, like... first: there are no Corona's on the sun -- I'm pretty sure there is not a convenience store anywhere near it!!!

Now, like... umm.... B: even if there were coronas (or any other kind of beer) on the sun, it would not be cold enough to drink. Nobody likes a warm beer!

And.... 3: What difference could it make if a corona gets ejected from the sun, or like... lost in a hole on the sun or whatever. No one is even there to drink it. Except maybe the koolaid guy, and I am pretty sure he doesn't drink anything harder than... like.... koolaid.
