LONG
RANGE OUTLOOK: A
stream of solar wind is heading for Earth, due
to arrive on July
28th-30th.
And
it's not alone -
Amateur
astronomers around the world are monitoring a
magnificent prominence arcing over the sun's
western limb.
This
prominence--a magnetic filament filled with
hot plasma--has been suspended above the
stellar surface for days. A collapse might be overdue.
Filaments
in the past have been known to collapse, and when
they hit the surface of the sun--bang! A tremendous
explosion called a "Hyder flare" results,
sometimes rivaling the strongest flares
produced by sunspots. Solar
physicists have not yet learned to predict Hyder
flares.
Shortly
after the confederation of
nations spoken of in Psalm 83:5,
Psalm
83:15
So persecute
them with thy tempest, and make them
afraid with thy storm
tempest- A violent windstorm
