A monster Solar Emission.
(2)

(The video is compliments of one of my favorite sites, Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive. (Kootch just hit the sack at 1825.) I visit it every day I am online. Highly recommended.)
So what is the relevance of that solar eruption to Genesis 3:19? To Ash Wednesday? What existential truth did the author of Genesis stumble upon those three thousand of years ago?
Hmm...
