TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN: Scientists and sky watchers are converging on the northeast coast of Australia, near the Great Barrier Reef, for a total eclipse of the sun on Nov. 13/14. For researchers, the brief minutes of totality open a window into some of the deepest mysteries of solar physics. [video] [full story]
FARSIDE EXPLOSION: As solar activity picks up on the Earthside of the sun (see "Broken Quiet" below), the farside of the sun is coming alive, too. During the early hours of Nov. 9th, a magnetic filament located behind the sun's southeastern limb erupted, hurling a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into space:
This explosion was not geoeffective, but future explosions might be. The blast site, still potent, is just days away from rotating onto the Earthside of the sun. You can monitor its progress using NASA's 3D Sun app for smartphones, which makes it easy to view and explore the farside of the sun.
BROKEN QUIET: A weeks-long spell of solar quiet was broken on Nov. 8th (02:34 UT), when new sunspot AR1611 unleashed an M1.7-class flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the extreme UV flash:
Because of the blast site's location on the sun's northeastern limb, Earth was not in the line of fire. It will take about a week for this new active region to turn squarely toward our planet. Stay tuned for updates as the chance of geoeffective flares increases in the days ahead. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

Solar Flares are a Holographic Illusion
Solar Flares are a Holographic Illusion, created by the beings, 'The shinning ones' that live on that planet. It is to keep beings of a lower Dimension away. The Sun is not Hot, the Sun is light. This is the reason for sub-zero temperatures in space.
First, everything physical is
First, everything physical is a hologram. Second, heat is a vibration of light. Things get hot because they absorb energy, and the atoms vibrate faster. I don't know why anybody would believe the Sun isn't hot, because you can go outside on any sunny day and feel the heat from the Sun.
Solar Flares are Holographic Illusion
The Light entering the Atmosphere, combined with the Rotation of the Planet (Centrifugal Force) creates the Heat you Feel. The Sun is Not Hot, The Sun is Light. There are Sub-Zero Temperatures between The Sun and The Earth. The Illusion of Solar Flares is transmitted by the 'Shining Ones' because you are not of their Higher Vibration, and Consciousness - They do not want you there. www.HollowEarthNetwork.com - Ascension Tour - Meet 5th Dimensional beings who have visited our Sun, Helios.
I wouldn't believe everything
I wouldn't believe everything you read there, especially when its so radically different from what nearly everyone else is sharing.
