Power of the sun

One of NASA's STEREO spacecraft observes two active regions on the sun's disk in extreme ultraviolet light. Such regions, visible as bright spots at upper left, can send out violent storms of charged particles in bursts. The radiation then travels all 93,000,000 miles to us dissapating at the atmosphere. Maybe we should top putting holes in the sky afterall :)
C'mon, Americans dont REALLY need those giant cars.
