Fire is Life

A new pic from the STEREO space probes - two probes on either side of the sun which take co-ordinated photos, allowing for 3-d level views.

This is a pic of a mass coronal ejection, essentially, magnetic fields within the sun snap, and this snapping sends forthe huge bands of stellar material from deep within the sun. If this material happens to be headed in our direction, we get slammed with a solar storm, which in the worst cases can knock out electrical grids (and slightly increase the rate of mutation on the planet!).

We should all strive to remember that we are LITERALLY made up of the same material as the sun - we are the leftover remnants that did not form the sun, but the sun, the earth, us, and everything else in our solar system are all made of material from a previous star - a massive star that went supernova some long, long time ago, bequeathing us gold, platinum, uranium, and all the rest of the materials on our world.

If you're looking for a God, if you need one - follow our ancient ancestors and look up into the sky: That's all the God(s) you'll ever need.
