I like the concept.

This is very, very lovely! Awesome work!!!

Wonderful Art work as usual David... But Can you ask Merlin ? If he can make magic for that (future)...story :) The Sun Is Freaking Out Sunspots have Increased 1825% From a New Scientist article of 02 Nov 2005, "There have been more sunspots since the 1940s than for the past 1150 years (combined). That is a 1825% increase. Sunspot numbers were derived from levels of a radioactive isotope found in ice cores taken from Greenland and Antarctica. Sunspots are the precursors of solar flares and coronal mass ejections and reflect the internal state of the sun. The Farmers Almanac uses sun spot numbers to predict yearly weather. They have been fairly accurate. Cosmic Dust Causes Intense Weather The increase in sun activity is related to increases in cosmic dust. In 2000, cosmic dust into our solar system increased threefold. The following years saw exceptionally server weather such as the 2003 hurricane Isabel with wind speeds over 300 MPH (second highest ever recorded). Also in 2003 Arkansas was heavily damaged in one of the most intense outbreaks of tornadoes in 53 years of record-keeping, and a heat wave in Europe killed 12,000. From European Space Agency's online news story of 01 Aug 2003 "we can expect even more interstellar dust from 2005 onwards, once the changes become fully effective. But, that is only the first volley of dust, the second one is three times more intense. It seems that the more dire a discovery is, the longer NASA will delay its release. Such a delay discourages the media from reporting the discovery. For example, on 10 May 99, the solar wind "stopped" for two days. This is very scary, because no one seems to know what caused it. NASA delayed the release of the information for six months so the media didn't touch it. BUT, NASA sat on the cosmic dust story for THREE YEARS. Much More is Coming Between 2005 and 2013 cosmic dust will increase by another factor of 3. Thus making the second increase three times more intense. We are in for a rough ride. Of greatest concern is volcanic activity which has increased 550% over the past 100 years. The timing of this cosmic dust increase is disturbing because the usually dependable (every 600,000 years) Yellowstone super volcano (30 x 50 miles wide) is 40,000 years late... ! Now GO Merlin Help us... Again FANTASTIC ARTWORK DUDE "MU"

Very nice scene!
