:cry: It's true.
 
that's got to be the most worst scientific misinformation, from some one who should know what he's talking about, that I have ever heard!

Its a freaking coronal hole! has nothing to do with a mass of stuff being ejected from that area

makes me want to swear long and hard when I hear crap like that

Doesn't matter. Evo is doomed.

Exactly. Coronal holes are the primary source of the fast solar wind. We had some rather nice aurora the past few days thanks to this large and persistent coronal hole, plus a few minor satellite disturbances.

I don't know how I missed this.

I died laughing when he said "this whole chunk blew off and is headed right for us."

Epic.
