Sun Rips in 2 with huge Coronal Hole - Solar wind Incoming!

Thanks for the new the background!

How long do we have before two Suns are visible since the Sun was just spilt in twine? It is gonna be one hawt summer. Btw sweet shades randyvs

I was going through the various images from NASA on their website. I found something peculiar. There is a SOHO image that has portions blacked out much like Google Earth puts overlays in its maps for various security reasons.

I do not know how to make the "External Link" thing.

Here is the NASA.gov website address. Please cut and paste (it is a big link)

sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov...:wavelength=284

Anyone else see this or know why it is "censored".

This is nothing out of the ordinary. Once again someone who know nothing about the sun post an image to start a meaningless discussion. Nothing to see here.

WTF! I'm starting to feel like a yo yo here. I don't understand what is censored on your link outcast? That does look to be a big rip.

I must say this is the most grotesque title I've seen in a long time here on ATS

Where exactly are portions blocked out? I can't see anything out of the ordinary...

Good job, too bad I can't flag u twice.

Awsome, gonna get freaky down here.
I've we wake up one day and nothing electronical works, we know what happened.
Every day it starts looking more like the mayans and all those other ancient civilizations were right.
Things are gonna get real strange!

Wow!!! this is what I found out so far! THE SUN AWAKENS, NASA IS WARY: The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and the next few years could bring much higher levels of solar activity. NASA is keeping a wary eye on the sun as officials meet in Washington DC on June 8th to discuss the potential consequences of stormy space weather. Get the full story from Science@NASA spaceweather.com...

Always thought Dr. Michio Kaku was treated disgracefully on FUX News.

Guess he will have the last laugh or cringe.

High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on those dates.

ALWAYS AMUSING IN JUNE! Two weeks ago they said the same about a series of solar flares. Those of us in high latitudes are experiencing 22+ hours of visible light right now and the 2 hours not classified as "visible light" are still marked with a fairly bright horizon. It is a shame this didn't happen during the winter months when we could have actually seen the auroras.

Crap! I hope the title is mis-leading. Sittin in a quite cove right now w/Jimmy Buffet playin, sippin a cold one. 92• in the shade . I just had to see what was going on in the world didn't I??

That looks extraordinary.SnF

Ya know, maybe Soundgarden's song Blackhole Sun was actually onto something


The guys in this band knew about 2012 all along

Here is an update from SpaceWeather web site:

As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather

Earth and space are about to come into contact in a way that's new to human history. To make preparations, authorities in Washington DC are holding a meeting: The Space Weather Enterprise Forum at the National Press Club on June 8th.

Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, explains what it's all about:

"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms. The intersection of these two issues is what we're getting together to discuss."

"the Sun Rips in Two" ,

Yes, maybe it's a bit over the top. It was not meant to be a literal meaning, just the fact that the image I showed in the OP makes it almost look like the sun is split down the centre.

It's an amazing image none the less and not something we see too often.

I'm amazed.

g

my belief is that nasa is refering to the cosmic cloud we go through the common years...
that cloud was earlyer this year discouverd...
my guess.... same affects on planets as an aircraft flies in an raincloud...

In Outcast2's defense, if you HAD a good eye you would be able to tell the difference by scrolling down to the group of pictures where there sun is blue, then yellow then back to green. In the Yellow picture you can obviously see the "stars" in the background around the Sun, BUT in the other pictures they are COMPLETELY blacked out.

A big black patch on the face of the sun.

Looks like the big black patch in the Gulf of Mexico.

Have BP been drilling on The Sun ? lol.

I wonder how long it will take someone to demand a response from the Obama administration to this massive problem, or how long it will take someone to blame this on George W Bush.

It was originally forecast for 2012, but the timeline has been knocked back due to inactivity over the last few yrs.

The fact that they had a timeline, and then decided to move it because the sun wasn't acting the way 'they' thought it should, should open your eyes to the fact that the sun is still a huge mystery and sun spot cycles are still a relatively 'new' science in the sense that scientists really don't understand how they work fully.

The eleven year cycle is the accepted length, and corroborated by the Mayan calendar that also denoted such cycles.

I would believe the Mayans more than NASA regarding the exact timing of the sun spot cycle and when it is due to peak since they have been tracking it LONG before our scientists even knew there was something to track. This has nothing to do with the so-called related doomsday prophecies and is only referring to the sun spot cycle itself.

if u guys don't follow this guy on youtube - It might be a good time to start

he's been right with his predictions every 8-9 out of 10 times.
