Or it's an asteroid. Can't tell. I could send it to my Astronomy teacher to ask. But I'm too lazy. I'm going to guess it's something being pulled into the sun. Duckie

14. Sorry, I wasn't clear |
|
I meant that scientists are saying that current activity is hitting some record highs. Well outside of the normal fluctuation.
Apperently, it's been on the rise for a few decades now.

9. It's where monoliths are born |

I assume you're referring to the black "dot"? It just looks like a sunspot.
I love those soho mpegs. I'm basically obsessed with watching them weekly. There's nothing quite as beautiful as when the sun farts. :D

But I could be wrong, sunspots aren't ever well understood. I mean, we've only known about them for the past 400 years or so.
