M-Class Flare (by NASA Goddard Photo and Video)

The sun unleashed an M4.7 class flare at 8:32 EDT on May 9, 2012 as captured here by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The flare was over quickly and there was no coronal mass ejection associated with it. This image is shown in the 131 Angstrom wavelength, a wavelength that is typically colorized in teal and that provided the most detailed picture of this particular flare.

Awesome…
I’m not sure how I feel about this. Any thoughts or opinions?
Chicxulub meteor crater says, “never forget”. I highly doubt that dinosaurs farted themselves into extinction. I think the meteor may have triggered mass volcanic activity and with the increase in methane and CO2 from the volcanoes, along with ash and soot blocking out the sun, the plant life died, and then everything else died, except for the small mammals and birds that evolved over this grey period.
Hahaha….

Our neighbor’s dog, they never pay any attention to him, so I go out everyday to give him treats and pet him over the fence. He LOVES it!
A wonderful person
We Live In The Future
A team of physicists at the University of Dundee have created a real-life sonic screwdriver - yes, I’m serious.
The Doctor’s trusty tool was replicated using ultrasound energy capable of manipulating an object away from itself and, using a component of momentum which exerts torque on the object, a helix-shaped vortex beam then causes the item to rotate.
Researchers hope to use this breakthrough in ultrasound technology for future endeavors regarding non-invasive surgery, but we’re just hoping they figured out how to make it work on wood.

Galactic Storm
Need a little dose of awesome today? Then how about this incredible shot of the Milky Way towering over a thunderstorm in Canyonlands National Park? This was taken by photographer Bret Webster and this is just simply breathtaking!

Awesomeness…
If you are an individual with secret nerdy likes and dislikes....post your stuff here! (must be appropriate).
