The Sun

The sun is the light source that brings us beautiful sunsets (along with smog and other pollution).


We depend on it for our lives. It gives us heat and light. More and more people are using solar power to charge batteries and supply electricity for houses.

But it is a powerful beast that sometimes can cause us problems. Some years ago, there were solar flares that caused some disruption in pager and cell phone services. Now some scientists are reporting that a Powerful Solar Storm Could Shut Down U.S. for Months. A solar storm could cause widespread problems that would be worse the more technically advanced the country. The less involved computers and technology are in a society, the less problems will be caused when they are unavailable. I wonder what impact a solar storm would have on individual solar recharging and power systems.

But while looking at pictures like these, I have to wonder what impact these solar storms would have on photography or if there would be any noticeable change to our visible light. Until the storms heat up, feel free to head over to my photo galleries and take a look at the different pictures I have there.
