		<description>I notice on another site of the flare in 308A that a phenomenon like a shock wave emanates but seems to go only in one direction, to the SW, assuming N is up in the image.

I believe this phenomenon has been discussed here and has a name, but why doesn&#039;t it go out in all directions like the ripples from a rock thrown into water?</description>

		<description>@ #5 Allen Thomson + #14 Joseph G

Yes, these rays are artefacts of the camera. It is designed to stare constantly at the sun, but if this piece of plasma brightens suddenly in one spot it causes the pixels to overflow. Think of it as if you would stare at a light bulb which suddenly becomes  several factors brighter. You would be dazzled as well, don&#039;t you think? ;)</description>

		<description>@#10:

I see you like to instill fear.  That&#039;s very smart.  After all, it is all the rage in political circles, and your website reads like political propaganda.  In fact, your site reads a lot like anti-vaccine sites, intelligent design sites, Chemtrails sites, sites predicting cataclysm from HAARP, and so on.  That is to say that your site has a paucity of facts supporting your claims and dangerous warnings.

Zero point energy?  Really?  Can you analytically show how zero point energy would be extracted? It would be terribly interesting to see how energy would be extracted from a field or quantum system when either is at its lowest possible energy state.</description>

		<description>This flare may not effect the earth, but it is going to be terrible for the twin earths
coming into view soon just in time for their debut in the movies about them.</description>

		<description>Wzrd1:  I love how it&#039;s structured exactly like a terrestrial METAR forecast.  Makes me feel like I&#039;m living in the &lt;i&gt;future&lt;/i&gt;.

&quot;Good morning, Luna City! It&#039;s 05:32 GMT - first, let&#039;s get right to Meteobot7000 for the weather today - how goes, MB?&quot;
&quot;Fantastic, Tom, thanks! As for the commute, things could be better - we have a light solar plasma persisting into the evening, and a 30% chance of protons, so expect lots of  shuttle delays, and don&#039;t forget to pack your lead-lined jumpsuit!&quot;

		<description>Wow! As someone mentioned above, there&#039;s a sizable image artifact there, which seems to be centered on the brightest part of the flare.  Is this a result of CCD pixels &quot;overflowing&quot;?
If so, it kinda gives you pause at the power involved - I mean, that&#039;s a solar flare too bright for a machine that was &lt;i&gt;designed to stare at the sun&lt;/i&gt;.</description>
