The Pacific Ocean hosts a quartet of tropical cyclones

ΦΑΙΝΕΤΑΙ ΟΤΙ ΖΟΥΜΕ ΣΕ ΧΑΛΕΠΟΥΣ ΚΑΙΡΟΥΣ,Ο ΗΛΙΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΝΑ ΠΑΣΑ ΣΤΙΓΜΗ ΕΤΟΙΜΟΣ ΝΑ ΜΑΣ ΔΙΑΛΥΣΗ. ΜΗΠΩΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΙΡΟΣ Ο ΚΑΘΕΝΑΣ ΜΑΣ ΣΙΓΑ ΣΙΓΑ ΝΑ ΑΡΧΙΣΗ ΝΑ ΦΤΙΑΧΝΗ ΤΗΝ ΔΙΚΗ ΤΟΥ ΚΙΒΩΤΟ?

The Sun sported a very long filament (over 30 times the size of Earth) that angled diagonally across its surface for over a week (July 31 - Aug. 6, 2014). Filaments are clouds of cooler gas suspended above the Sun's surface by magnetic forces. They are notoriously unstable and often break apart in just hours or days. So far, this one has held together as it rotated along with the Sun for over a week. The images were taken in the 193 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light and were tinted red instead of its usual brown hue. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory/NASA.

The Pacific Ocean hosts a quartet of tropical cyclones - from left to right - Typhoon Halong, Hurricane Genevieve (which kept travelling west to become Typhoon Genevieve), Hurricane Iselle, and Hurricane Julio. In this image from 00:00 UTC on 7 August 2014, the storms are all far from land, but there are warnings for hurricane and tropical storm force winds in Hawai'i as Iselle approaches, and for high waves and heavy rain in Japan, where Halong is forecast to make landfall.
