What is happening in the sun ?

~~~~~~~~~
WAITING FOR GEOMAGNETIC STORMS: A CME struck Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Sept. 6th. So far the impact has done little to stoke strong geomagnetic activity. Another CME is on the way, however, and it is more potent, having been accelerated in our direction by yesterday's powerful X9-class solar flare. NOAA forecasters say strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Sept. 8th when the inbound CME arrives. Free: Aurora Alerts

MAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE (UPDATED): On Sept. 6th at 1202 UT, sunspot AR2673 unleashed a major X9.3-class solar flare--the strongest solar flare in more than a decade. X-rays and UV radiation from the blast ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a strong shortwave radio blackout over Europe, Africa and the Atlantic Ocean: blackout map

the strongest solar flare in more than a decade.

The Sun is 4.5 billion years old - 10 years seems like a rather small sample period.

I wonder if the recent solar activity has anything to do with climate change. Category 4 in Texas, Category 5 in the Caribien; when do we get a categoy 6 Huricane

Mother nature wipes out all known life forms on average every 10billion years, the last time this happened was 11billion years ago . . . so we're due one !

Please be gentle with me but my google told me the earth was about 4.5 billion years old??

I blame Transam. He's got half a dozen big yankee V8's and some old motorbikes!!! Damn Surrey plumbers

Woah, maths check DL, the earths 4.5 Billion years old, and mother nature wipes out all know life forms every 10 billion years. I think we need to discuss this concept a little bit more; you might be able to given Stephen Hawkings a run for his money.

Wrong thread, we're discusssing the potential of climate change being caused by Coronal emmissions, not global warming being caused by Transams inferiority complex being compensated for with large engines.
