Popular Mechanics
A video captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (and tweeted by space weather forecaster Tamitha Skov) shows a northern prominence, a dense cloud of of gas ejected into the corona, at 55 degrees latitude culminating in what Skov describes as a “polar vortex” at the north pole. Although ejections or prominences like this are common as the sun ramps up to solar maximum, the after effect of a polar vortex is highly uncommon—in fact, scientists have never seen it before. More
So what you’re saying is man made climate change?
A common occurrence. Get the real scoop not the fear porn of Popular Science.

That’s prolly what they shot down over Alaska yesterday!!!!! (@Tony R, jus kidding)

I guess my little car is responsible for that, huh?
The sun has probably done this a billion trillion trillion times since it formed 5 billion years ago.
Solar maximum, followed by Solar minimum.
Natural occurrences for the past forever.
Nothing to do with faux climate change or the amount of money made on faux carbon credits.
But we have trouble finding things in our own space?
Makes me feel insignificant…
There’s a little black spot on the sun today.
It’s the same old thing as yesterday.
Zonga: Sorry, I don’t follow the whole Harry/Meghan soap opera. 🙂
Are there still rings around Uranus?
Why is this even news? It happens all the time. I’ve seen bigger solar prominence photos and videos.
This one happens to look just a bit different that what we are used to. So? It’s what the sun does. There are periods of activity and periods of inactivity.
It isn’t like the sun just pulled out one of those scary big black guns everyone wants to ban! Get a life.
They just want more fear. Wait until they tell us we have to raise taxes to appease the sun god. Sheesh.
OH, another shiny distraction…
How dare you !!
A Solar Polar Vortex.
Must be record cold on the Sun, then, right? Right? Huh?
Whut.
Even Sol hates Greta.
“I fart in your general direction!”
Throw the obamas in it.
Son of a Sun of a Solar…
I’d gladly throw in a buck or two towards their passage on one of Elon’s rockets headed that-a-way, no return! For some reason the imagery of Slim Pickens happily riding a bomb comes to mind.

I invented the Solar Polar Vortex.
We have a vaccine for that for which the FDA has given an Emergency Use Authorization. We believe that is is both safe and effective.
