Worth a Thousand Words: Solar eruptions

Thierry Legault, Solar eruption on July 13 and 14, 2005

It's been unseasonably warm, even for Texas, so I felt a natural affinity with these solar flares.

I discovered Thierry Legault in a Wall Street Journal article several years ago. He very graciously gave me permission to share his wonderful photography here. Click through and enjoy all his images. They are superb.
