Solar Tsunamis Are Real, NASA Says
By SPACE.com staff

Incredibly powerful waves of plasma rippling across the surface of the sun and dubbed "solar tsunamis" were first observed years ago, but were thought to be an optical illusion. Scientists have now confirmed, though, that they are really real.

Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on and safari with me
(Come on and safari with...)

Early in the morning we'll be startin out
Some honeys will be comin' along
We're loadin' up my woody
with the boards inside
and heading out singing our song

But that says "Monster Waves" and this one says "Solar Tsunamis". I think these must be distinct and separate phenomena, unlike using essentially using the same joke in both threads.

Some extreme SPFs are in order in that case.

On the bright side, at least there's never a cloudy day.

Are you going to make me repeat another joke?
Ok.
No worries, we'll go night surfing.

How high are these plasma tsumani's? Must be at least 1000's of miles high - incredible!

I'm in! The stargazing should be spectacular, well, even you can only see one in the night sky.

And we'll have a weenie roast. Bring your own buns.
