"Two August 3 solar flares were each accompanied by giant clouds of charged gas—or coronal mass ejections—aimed at Earth, triggering the sky show. About 48 hours after NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory had detected the first eruption, the "solar wind" slammed into Earth's magnetic field, creating a geomagnetic storm that lasted four hours."
More than 400 of the permanent sculptures have been installed in recent months in the National Marine Park of Cancún, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc ( map of the region ) as part of a major artwork called "The Silent Evolution." The installation is the first endeavor of a new underwater museum called MUSA, or Museo Subacuático de Arte.
Created by Mexico-based British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, the Caribbean installation is intended to eventually cover more than 4,520 square feet (420 square meters), which would make it "one of the largest and most ambitious underwater attractions in the world," according to a museum statement.
