The Sun blows up

Spaceweather.com has some beautiful pictures of the sun blowing up. CNN has an explanation. And the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory web site is a mother lode of amazing pictures of the sun in all its volatile glory.

I pay attention to this stuff because every time the sun does something like this, it changes conditions on shortwave radio and I can sometimes hear stuff that I can’t hear at other times. But I also just love looking at the pictures.
