He's Pissed Now

No sooner than it's announced on apostropher.com that photosynthetic microorganisms are cheating on the sun, he throws another hissy fit.

The Sun kicked up one of the largest flares on record Wednesday and more eruptions are likely in coming days, forecasters said[...] The flare was rated an X-17. All X-flares are major, and few have been recorded that were larger than X-10. It erupted from a sunspot that was on the limb (FG: ?) of the Sun, so while X-rays and other radiation reached Earth in minutes, the bulk of the matter blown out from the site was not directed our way.

"This flare, the fourth largest in the last 15 years, erupted just as the Region 808 sunspot cluster was rotating onto the visible disk of the Sun," said Larry Combs, solar forecaster at the NOAA Space Environment Center.

I never knew the sun had limbs.
