Radiation from Massive Solar Flare Hits Earth

Radiation from the sun started hitting the earth and will continue until mid week. Tuesday night, look to the north, because the last time this happened, the "Northern Lights" moved south and could be seen in much of the USA. The radiation—in the form of protons—came flying out of the sun at 93 million miles per hour.

We can imagine that the six astronauths on the International Space Station must feel a bit insecure about hitting with this dose of radiation, in spite of NASA's flight surgeons and solar experts statements that there is nothing to worry about.

We are first gettingelectromagnetic radiation, then protons from the Sun follow, then the plasma from the sun, that can knock out electrical grids or cause problems with electronic communications.

It seems that even the heavens are agitated. With our world's political conflicts, religious fighting, economic woes, demonstrations throughout the world, and natural disasters, floods drought. Now, the sun decides to erupt and douse us with protons, electromagnetic radiation, and plazma.

This eruption and bathing of the earth, as the sun belches out it's poison, is a bit like watching the Republican's blasting each other during the presidential primaries. Hmmmmmmm. Perhaps the sun is tired of it too!
