Bishop's rings are usually caused by volcanic ash, but fine desert dust can make them too. The dust has caused another phenomenon as well-a " Bishop's ring" around the sun. "Temperatures up to 38☌ are expected here today with peaks of 40☌ elsewhere." "Enormous quantities of warm dusty air have been transported to Europe," says Ulbricht. "It looked like the desert, but in the middle of Saxony." "The sunrise today was colored by Sahara dust," reports Heiko Ulbricht of Freital, Germany. SAHARA SUNRISE (IN SAXONY): Each year, winds pick up an estimated 100 million tons of dust from the Sahara Desert.

If the structure becomes unstable and erupts, it could hurl a significant CME away from the sun. Powerful currents of plasma are coursing through the filament, according to NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. One end of the filament is attached to sunspot AR3032 the other end is not pinned to anything. To be precise, it stretches 370,000 km from end to end-about the same as the distance from Earth to the Moon. "It's a super magnetic filament," says Pepe Manteca, who photographed the structure using a backyard solar telescope in Barcelona, Spain:
SUPER MAGNETIC FILAMENT: The biggest thing on the sun today is not a sunspot. NOAA forecasters say there is a slight chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms while Earth is inside the stream. THE SOLAR WIND IS HERE: A stream of solar wind flowing ~600 km/s from a hole in the sun's atmosphere is buffeting Earth's magnetosphere today. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.
