Solar Bear

Yeah, I just made that term up. But it sounds AWESOME, right? ...Solar bear. Its like a polar bear, but hotter. Anyways.

So I read in the news today that, apparently, the sun is pissed and shot a 'solar prominence' directly at Earth on Sunday night, which will be hitting us tonight. Satellites beware. The word is that even northern US states might be able to see an aurora tonight. Check out the website for some sweet pictures from NASA.

"What's your favorite planet? ...Mine's the Sun." -will ferrel as Harry Carey on SNL.
Its one of my favorite 'recent' SNL clips. It starts a little rocky and then picks up quickly... right at about 1:00 when the above quote happens... Will Ferrel's timing is hilarious.
