Fiery looping rain on the Sun - General

[hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFT7ATLQQx8[/hd] Kinda hard to fathom the amount of energy in play.

its incredible to think that theres now technology that can get this clean of a video of the fucking suns surface in action.

This shit is scary yet so fascinating.

My head goes all "I can't comprehend" when the image size of the earth gets shown in comparison. I am out of words.

Around it, you can see shit getting shit out then immediately getting sucked right back in. Such a ridiculous amount of force here, more than we can make with Anything we have here. And our star is very small compared to shit out there.... Really scary stuff... Our monkey brains weren't made for shit like this....

it's not big we're just small

[QUOTE=General J;46070811]it's not big we're just small[/QUOTE] That's not what ur mom said Joking aside the Earth comparison is really crazy to think about.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;46071236]That's not what ur mom said Joking aside the Earth comparison is really crazy to think about.[/QUOTE] And then think about our bodies consisting of so many cells, which itself consist of even smaller stuff

[QUOTE=Darkslicer;46070435]My head goes all "I can't comprehend" when the image size of the earth gets shown in comparison. I am out of words.[/QUOTE] And the sun is a very very tiny thing in this universe

I read an article about the Sun recently in New Scientist (a rip off, but I wanted to read one article in it) and this and some other interesting shit was in there What I find most interesting is that apparently the Sun breaks the laws of thermodynamics because the surface is 5700 Kelvin as opposed to the millions of kelvin that its corona/atmosphere is

I wonder how large solar flares and prominences are on VY Canis Majoris?

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;46070628]And our star is very small compared to shit out there....[/QUOTE] It's actually pretty average, or kinda bigger than average. Cuz most stars at least in our galaxy are red stars and such

I want this as a looping desktop background

I wonder how much this was sped up. Either way, it blows my mind to think how fast those flares are moving.

[QUOTE=RobbL;46072013]I wonder how large solar flares and prominences are on VY Canis Majoris?[/QUOTE] The larger stars are, the stranger they behave.

[QUOTE=paul simon;46073512]The larger stars are, the stranger they behave.[/QUOTE] Largers stars tend to be more massive and that means stuff really stays closer to the surface. (O type blue stars) Red giants are gigantic though but very light compared to the size so VY Canis Majoris is going pretty fucking crazy and ejecting shittons of stuff [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/VY_Canis_Majoris.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=SGTSpartans;46072872]I want this as a looping desktop background[/QUOTE] Used clipconverter.cc to download the video in HD then choose the video clip when selecting a desktop background. It downloads as an .mp4, but not sure what Windows accepts for video wallpaper.

Imagine if there was some kind of being that could live in that environment... :tinfoil:

Man one of those sundrops alone could probably vaporize Australia.

[QUOTE=ironman17;46107038]Man one of those sundrops alone could probably vaporize Australia.[/QUOTE] that's the spirit

Well it's big enough and hot enough, there'd probably be nothing left but a steaming patch of sea by the end of it.

[QUOTE=ironman17;46107152]Well it's big enough and hot enough, there'd probably be nothing left but a steaming patch of sea by the end of it.[/QUOTE] Except every creature there. They'd absorb it and adapt to sea life and eventually take over the planet.

Then they'd merge together and transform into Roozilla. Mothers of gods...
