Halloween Solar Storm Nearing Heliopause

PipianJ writes "Various sources are reporting that NASA has been tracking the Halloween solar storms of last year as they head towards the end of the solar system and the beginning of interstellar space, the heliopause, in the near future. In related news, scientists now believe that it was solar storms that ripped water from Mars, causing it to be the dry barren wasteland it is today."

This is great

[Real Troll Talk]

Thanks to commercial interest, space is getting more press than ever recently.

Kudos to Paul Allen and Burt Rutan and John Carmack and all the space innovators.

They are the Charles Darwins and Lindberghs of the 21st century.

Thanks NASA for everything, but your time is up. Onward and upward with Open Designs, Open Spaceships, and Open Source.

Oh sure, ask the Americans for help. AGAIN! Go home and choke on a freedom-fry, you cheese-eating monkey. In Soviet Russia, the French invade YOU!

Oh noes!

Off main topic but on topic in thread;

you might try offering it on gmailswap.com and see if it nets you an account.

For that matter, people with invites should visit that site too.

Upon questioning people flocking to clear duct tape and sunscreen off the shelves, an unwashed geek was quoted as saying: "I don't know what why everyone is making a big deal about Code Red... I mean, everyone knows regular Mountain Dew is the best"

I am going to get slapped for this one but

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives

We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.

The sun is large

If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away

About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day

The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

Thanks "They might be giants" that was fun

Being a non-USian, I'm curious: didn't the Democrats also vote to invade Iraq?
