NASA's SDO sun-watching observatory caught this amazing video of a huge coronal mass ejection erupting from the sun on June 7, 2011.Credit: C. Alex Young/The Sun Today (http://www.thesuntoday.org)
i think this is right. hubby found this one.
This could effect the weather....yipes!!

This could effect the weather....yipes!!
Due to current economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.
Just received this moments ago....
At 1:41 a.m. (EST), all of the solar Heliophysics System Observatory missions witnessed the large cloud of bright plasma and high energy particles that came up and then fell down, which covered an area nearly half of the solar surface. The CME is moving at 1,400 km/s and may have an effect on the Earth's magnetic field on the nights of Jun. 8 and Jun. 9. This is the largest blast of radiation on a level that has not been experienced since 2006. The Space Weather Prediction Center issued a statement Tuesday where it forewarned of a G1 (minor) to G2 (moderate) levels of Geomagnetic Storm activity Wednesday. "A prompt Solar Radiation Storm reached the S1 (minor) level soon after the impulsive R1 (minor) Radio Blackout at 0641 UTC," said the National Weather Service. "The Solar Radiation Storm includes a significant contribution of high energy (>100 MeV) protons, the first such occurrence of an event of that type since December 2006."
Enjoy the light show and the propagation.
