Subject: [kj] (OT) Sun eruptions spit plasma at Earth

"Since Sunday, four eruptions on the sun have sent plasma into space on a crash
course for Earth, scientists at NASA have found. The eruptions, dubbed coronal
mass ejections, started early Sunday, NASA said. When the plasma ejected from
the eruptions hits the planet, the particles will come down toward the North
Pole and South Pole. As they do so, they will hit nitrogen and oxygen, creating
a colorful spectacle of green and red lights flying through the sky. According
to scientists, the lights will be visible in northern U.S. states, on up to
Canada.
The eruptions were caught by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, a spacecraft
that offers views of the sun. Scientists there said they were part of the sun
awakening from solar minimum--a time where little activity and few sunspots are
witnessed on the sun--and moving toward solar maximum, a period of high activity
and more sun spots. The period of time between solar minimum and solar maximum
is usually 11 years. The last solar maximum occurred in 2001."
