Parallax

Our reporter Sam Wilcox is live from the Australia Observatory. Sam whats happening?Thanks Gary. Astronomers all over the World are saying that theres been some strange solar activity of late something theyve never witnessed before.What kind of activity Sam?Theyre calling them Sun Spikes. I have with me Astronomer Fred Wilson. Dr Wilson can you tell us?Well Sam these events have never been documented and no-one has come up with any tangible explanation as yet. Frankly were scratching our heads.So what do you know?For some reason there are wafer thin spikes of light shooting out from the Sun and theyre now threatening to penetrate our atmosphere.And what will happen if they do?We dont know but whats even more peculiar is the fact theyre travelling at faster than light speed.Thats impossible isnt it?Indeed. These Sun Spikes are new to science as we know it. They breach the laws of physics.Are we in danger Dr Wilson?Id like to say no but the truth is we have no idea what effect they might have if one or more of these things strikes the planet or God forbid people.
