Stunning Images
On May 3, a relatively weak solar flare erupted from the Sun.
Even this was enough to trigger an absolutely STAGGERING plasma spire -
the blue dot you can see represents the approximate size of the Earth next to yesterdays plasma eruption.
It reached approximately 200,000 kilometers.

You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.

You say you love wind, but when its comes you close your window.
So that's why I'm scared, when you say you love me.
