Spectacular solar eruption captured by scientists - 4/17/12



The sun has erupted in a spectacular flare, sending an outburst of heated plasma far into space. The eruption occurred along the sun's eastern limb and was not aimed towards Earth, scientists say.
­The flare was captured by NASA specialists and categorized as a class M flare, which is right in the middle on the scale of sun storms.
Although the eruption looked tremendous it was not the strongest solar activity of the year. Earlier this year the Earth was battered by two massive solar storms that sent streams of charged particles towards the planet.
Scientists say the sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year solar cycle and is expected to reach peak activity in 2013.

Luke 21
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.



Revelation 6:
8And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
