***STARING AT THE SUN: NASA'S OFFICIAL SOLAR SITE***

I guess you can say Iran handles things just a little bit differently than Egypt: Iranian lawmaker is condemning anti-government protests and pleading for the leaders of it to be executed




A MAJOR SUNSPOT DEVELOPED THIS PAST WEEKEND WITH A POWERFUL FLARE PUTTING EARTH IN THE CROSSHAIRS.. The sunspot region was barely visible only one week ago, until February 13 when a massive development took place on the sun..
It is now the strongest solar flare observed in 2011.. The story is developing, and there is a good chance a beautiful aurora borealis will develop this week and get only more intense as the days go on..


This image was taken was taken during a geomagnetic storm most likely caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun on May 24, 2010.. It was located over the Southern Indian Ocean..

There is information that the next several days may see more solar eruptions..


SPACE WEATHER FOR THE LATEST SOLAR INFORMATION
There is new concern over a 'carrier killer' Chinese weapon that the Navy fears could threatn US carriers.. With China making such a vast amount of United States weapons already for the military, you would have thought that we would have just asked them to make us a carrier killer too..

Inflation is rising in the UK..

Wild and crazy Romans.. The dark origins of Valentine's Day documented by NPR..


Is this what happens when someone is out of ideas, or is this the image of someone who has more than anyone else? On Sunday's Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga arrived in style: In an egg.. As her spokessomethings told Ryan Seacrest, Ms. Gaga was incubating in her ..womblike type egg.. She apparently had enough air, however, to pop from the egg and perform a Madonna-like song called BORN THIS WAY.. While Lady Gaga wasn't born in an egg, it made a scene at the awards..

Not at all a big shock as authorities warn that kids drinking too many 'energy' drinks can actually die from them if not be seriously hurt..

There are 'frostquakes' in Ohio..

And
food prices are about to burst.

Besides that, love is in the air.. Restaurants, maybe, are filled. Flowers, maybe, have been watered.. Edible arrangements, perhaps, have been arranged and delivered.. and tonight, maybe, the male species is getting what he wants most: A woman to love him... But take from my site the very notion of Valentine's Day and all of its ridiculous nonsense..
