Dr. Phillips at Spaceweather.com has an alarming observation:
GIANT SOLAR PROMINENCE: There’s a loop of plasma on the sun’s eastern limb so large that normal scientific notation doesn’t describe it. “It’s ginormous,” explains Richard N. Schrantz …
The arch is 325,000 km long–almost the distance between Earth and the Moon.
Implication? Implication?? Beyond normal scientific notation??? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!
