Sun Waking up?

I thought I'd just post this from SpaceWeather.com. I posted a while back that they were predicting that the sun was waking up and I was wondering what prophetic significance it had - accentuated after watching the movie 2012!!! But very much they were saying on SpaceWeather.com that what happens with the sun will dramatically effect here on earth.
Maybe this is why we are feeling restless. Jesus does say when He comes back we will all see. So?
Anyway read on and see what you think - (Probably to get the links to work you'll need to go to the webpage on SpaceWeather.com as I'm not sure how I get them up here and working!!)


COMPLEX ERUPTION ON THE SUN: On August 1st around 0855 UT, Earth orbiting satellites detected a C3-class solar flare. The origin of the blast was sunspot 1092. At about the same time, an enormous magnetic filament stretching across the sun's northern hemisphere erupted. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the action:

The timing of these events suggest they are connected, and a review of SDO movies strengthens that conclusion. Despite the ~400,000 km distance between them, the sunspot and filament seem to erupt together; they are probably connected by long-range magnetic fields. In this movie (171 Å), a shadowy shock wave (a "solar tsunami") can be seen emerging from the flare site and rippling across the northern hemisphere into the filament's eruption zone. That may have helped propel the filament into space.

In short, we have just witnessed a complex global eruption involving almost the entire Earth-facing side of the sun.

A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the event is heading directly for Earth: SOHO movie. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when it arrives on or about August 3rd.
