So, what’s up with the Haiti earthquake followed by the Chile massive earthquake? Are we seeing some early 2012 tremors? Could there be a link between the recent massive sun filament and these earthquakes? Does anyone have any answers or are we just to write all of these major catastrophes off as coincidental?
For the seventh day in a row, an enormous magnetic filament is hanging suspended above the surface of the sun’s southern hemisphere. I million Klms long or 621371 miles long.. about 24 times around Earth. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has a great view. How long can it last? Solar filaments are unpredictable. If this one collapses and hits the stellar surface, the impact could produce a powerful Hyder Flare. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor development.
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is tracking an enormous magnetic filament on the sun. It stretches more than one million kilometers from end to end, which makes it an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. Readers with iPhones can inspect the filament in 3D.
We’re talking about numbers and sizes unimaginable!
One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Chile on Saturday, toppling homes, collapsing bridges and plunging trucks into the fractured earth. A tsunami set off by the magnitude-8.8 quake threatened every nation around the Pacific Ocean— roughly a quarter of the globe. The death toll of course won’t be known for weeks; however, it’s a good bet and a bad one too, that thousands have been killed.
So, do we now wait for the next shoe to drop, the great sun filament to make its next move? What do we little specs of matter here on earth do next? Maybe we should care less about Britney Spears, Obama’s political numbers, and all the other front page data and get serious about what’s going on in the big picture of life.
