- audiogeek5, on 12/16/2008, -2/+21theeeeeeeeeeeeee sun is a mass of incandescent gas....
a gigantic nuclear furnace...
where hydrogen is built into helium
at a temperature of millions of degrees... - lornefs, on 12/16/2008, -1/+13Stupid scientists, they don't don't even know what audiogeek5 (5th one eh?) knows.
- bixby1, on 12/16/2008, -1/+12Bring it.
- thedinomeister, on 12/16/2008, -0/+6OMG let's colonize it!
- anizzle, on 12/16/2008, -0/+5Man if the sun could just bottle the hydrogen and then like send it to us in a jar--our energy problem would disappear.
* a really big jar. - gfeldt, on 12/16/2008, -0/+5I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend but I am.
- blinkatron, on 12/17/2008, -1/+5the sun is hot!
the sun is not a place where we can live... - Depthfunction, on 12/17/2008, -0/+4The Sun has attacked us! There is only one option: retaliate with overwhelming force! We must not waver, we must not falter until the Sun is entirely destroyed!
- aramova, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3Until the sun it's self ran out, it's already only got 4.5 billion years of reserves left. We start using it, sun might die much sooner, say, 4.49 billion years sooner.
- Trollbane, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3Why was this surprising? According to their explanation towards the end, it sounds as if this would be perfectly normal behaviour for a strong flare.
- Gaalsien, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3Raise shields.
- dracostimpy, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3"The event occurred on Dec. 5, 2006"
It's already been broughten. - LeftieLucy, on 01/09/2009, -0/+3But here on Earth, there'd be no life
Without the light it giiiiiives
/geek - AKfortyseven, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2It happened over two years ago. Read the article again!
- AZRoboto, on 12/16/2008, -0/+2Hydrogen?
OMG, the sun almost has the potential to produce water! - doctechnical, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2So the sun just farted on the earth? Eat your hearts out, Terrence and Phillip!
- Modestexcuse, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2You first.
- GregFD3S, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2The Sun?! That's the hottest place on earth!

. . . no sunspots. - dracostimpy, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1If they were traveling that slowly, they'd have never made it to earth because the sun's gravity woulda sucked them back in.
RTFA, especially the part about "But an hour later, when NASA's twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft detected the particles". - FaithclubDotNet, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1The Sun has always been man's enemy. The Sun has scorched our deserts so plants can no longer live there.
- d1donly, on 12/17/2008, -1/+2Yes, it happened in 2006, but it has taken two years for those hydrogen atoms to make it more then halfway to earth. Thus, they still have not arrived yet.
Hydrogen does not travel at the speed of light. - calebian, on 12/17/2008, -1/+2DEC 5TH 2006
- davidlt, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1hydrogen gas, nuclear furnace - sounds like fun stuff

- RealmDown, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the stylishly embedded sarcasm in "broughten"

- mohit115, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1lol, that'd have been really boring though!
- mohit115, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1so hydrogen will mix with earth's oxygen and we'll have lots of rain, isn't it! ;-)
- RealmDown, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1SPIDER !
- RealmDown, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1Has not! Look, even the Sun gets a little gas every now and then....
