Armageddon Ready: Russian solar probe to predict Earthly cataclysms.

Uploaded by RussiaToday on Jul 31, 2011 - Some scientists believe bursts of solar activity cause natural disasters on our planet, but until now the star has been too difficult to reach or explore in any detail.

Scientists have been witnessing gigantic bursts of plasma on its surface and say they are affecting our planet, even though it is over 90 million miles away.
