The twin STEREO spacecraft, now almost 120 degrees apart, captured this large and dramatic prominence eruption over a 30-hour period (Sept. 26-27, 2009).

Beautiful images.

Now that redeems my need for some Space eye candy!

thank you,

Pretty, but was it worth the earthquakes? Yes I think they are linked.

I don't know enough to know, but it seems like they are all connected lately and it shows no sign of slowing down. Hopefully I am wrong and a fool. Perhaps Phage will correct me with science. But the point remains: whatever is going on lately is not cool. I worry for several places, but specifically Yellowstone. also I am hearing some stuff about Toba.
