GROWING SUNSPOT: What a difference a day makes. On April 16th, sunspot AR1460 did not exist. Twenty-four hours later it was twice as big as the planet Earth. This April 17th movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows sunspot genesis in action:

The sunspot's magnetic field is still too simple for strong flares, but if the expansion continues apace, instabilities could develop that lead to explosions. Readers with solar telescopes should keep an eye on AR1460. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

SPECTACULAR EXPLOSION: Magnetic fields on the sun's northeastern limb erupted around 17:45 UT on April 16th, producing one of the most visually-spectacular explosions in years. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded the blast at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths:

Today’s a shy report as instead of not having a report I prefer doing a small one. Usually, probably due to timelines on the Planet, the best ones come out in what is my evening, but for sure I’ll get them in tomorrow’s Update.

Keep sharing and Loving as there’s nothing better anyone can do.

Just, LOVE ALL.

LOVE YOU, and thanks for sharing!

Eyeless shrimp and fish with lesions are becoming common, with BP oil pollution believed to be the likely cause.

New Orleans, LA - "The fishermen have never seen anything like this," Dr Jim Cowan told Al Jazeera. "And in my 20 years working on red snapper, looking at somewhere between 20 and 30,000 fish, I've never seen anything like this either."

Dr Cowan, with Louisiana State University's Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences started hearing about fish with sores and lesions from fishermen in November 2010.

Cowan's findings replicate those of others living along vast areas of the Gulf Coast that have been impacted by BP's oil and dispersants.

(editor's note: It's been nearly two years since BP spilled oil into our waters causing panic worldwide. "The fears of most people -- that there would be a catastrophic collapse of the ecosystem in the Gulf -- never materialized." In fact, the speed at which recoveries are happening can be quite mind blowing!  I also love how this particular article didn't try to "humanize" the recoveries by taking credit, rather simply calling it a "Natural Recovery."  ~All my Love, Boo)
