It's Always Sunny on Discovery Space

August 28, 2008

SolarprominenceAdmit it -- You know the sun is freakin' awesome.

Because of its awesomeness, I've helped cook up some super-sunny stuff during the past couple of weeks for you to watch, poke through and read!

Check out the list below, and don't forget your sunglasses... Ok, that was really lame. Your condescending hatemail can be addressed to DiscoverySpace@Discovery.com

  • Gallery: Hottest Solar Images - Ooo la la, what have we here? Some of the hottest images of the Sun ever. You know you wanna peek...

  • My Take: Solar Pains in the @$$ - What could happen to our petty little civilization during a solar storm? Check out this expert's take on the situation.

  • Video: Solar Maximum - Solar maximum is upon us in a couple of years. What the dilly-o does that mean, though? Watch this video.

  • Video: SDO Shines Light on the Sun - Scientists use nifty spacecraft to monitor the Sun, but they ain't got nothin' on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory that's being readied to launch.

That's it for now -- stay tuned for more cool space stuff!
