That is pretty cool, kind of Apocalyptic.

Thanks for that, carnie.

You have reminded me to checkout space.com more often, fantastic sights from a great site!

That one outgassing could probably have supplied enough energy to solve so many problems down here. If only we could tap it. Wish more resources were given to finding a way to make Nuclear Fusion work as a power source, that would countract the dwindling energy sources we have now, and prevent problems caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

We need a safer, cheaper, plentiful new energy source, that does not literally cost us the Earth.

You're welcome, and I agree with you 100%.

Amazing video.

I was just at space.com earlier this week as I wrote a paper for my science class called "Is There Life Beyond Earth". Had to look up some stuff on asteroids and comets.

Anyway awesome video that really captures the power of the sun. That one solar flare, if close enough, could have done major damage to the planet.

Thanks for sharing.
