Considering that the word “Angel” comes from the greek from the persian meaning messenger, and as a messenger of Fire I would say the Sun is doing a great job. BTW, I think all of these super flares are contributing more to the overall warming of the world climate than all of the burnt oil in China. The problem is PROOVING it.

Im thinking it looks more like a Phoenix than an angel. And since I’m not a solar scientist, what are the arch looking loops next to the Phoenix?

DrFlimmer @ 27,

‘Sceptic’ is actually the correct Commonwealth spelling. Now, I personally actually think ‘skeptic’ looks better, so it’s one of the few times I willingly use American spelling over Commonwealth, but it’s not incorrect.

Hahaha! I don’t know if it is keying of the video title, but I had to laugh when the video ran with a Lady Gaga ad on it. LOL
