Tsunami-like Blast Wave Rips Across the Sun

Posted December 10, 2006 12:16 AM

From New Scientist - Latest Headlines:

A blast wave swept across the face of the Sun on Wednesday, ripppling outward from the site of a large solar flare. Blast waves that spread all the way across the Sun like this one did are rare, especially when the Sun is in the quiet phase of its 11-year cycle, as it is right now. The wave was imaged by the Optical Solar Patrol Network telescope at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Sunspot, New Mexico, US. Watch a video of the expanding blast wave. The wave compresses and heats the solar plasma as it passes, causing it to brighten.

Re: Tsunami-like Blast Wave Rips Across the Sun

From :- Alfred B. Ford (Grandson) & Mary Greg :- "Once when Durvasa Muni was a guest at the house of Kunti's father,Kunti satisfied Durvasa by rendering service, and thus he blessed her with the mystic power by which she could summon any demigod. To examine the potency of this mystic power, the pious Kunti immediately called upon the sun-god.

As soon as Kunti called for the demigod of the sun, he appeared before her, much to her surprise. She told the sun-god " I was simply examining the effectiveness of this mystic power. I an so very sorry I have called you unnecessarily. Please return and I beg that you excuse me."

The sun-god said, "O beautiful Kunti, your meeting with the demigods cannot be fruitless. Therefore let me place my seed in your womb so that you may bear a son. I shall arrange to keep your virginity intact, since you are an unmarried girl."

According to rules of Vedic civilisation, if a girl gives birth to a child before she is married, no one will marry her. Therefore, although the sun-god wanted to give Kunti a child, she hesitated because she was still unmarried. To keep her virginity intact, .... Well if as these old Vedic tales say the Demigods drive in spaceships made from 'Spathic Allotrope Diamond (CVD?) I suppose it could be done. Great storey from Sri Srimad Bhagavtaam, the commentary on the great Vedic Epic Poem Sri Mahabharata from which Sri Bhagavad Gita is just one chapter.

In My view Queen Kunti has called her sun-god friend again, and Lord Vivasvan the demigod steward of our sun,who instructed Gita to Manu the Father of Mankind having recieved instruction from Krishna or Maha Visnu...has launched his spaceship again......only a guess, I wonder what the kids think? ha ha, adults are so dull, they never believe things they can't experience directly. Mr Ford is an exception.
