Beautiful...

See, behold!


Video of sun’s surface shows solar rain, eruptions and coronal moss

Ethereal scenes of flowing super-heated material may help explain why atmosphere is hotter than surface...

... On the horizon, spires of gas, known as spicules, reach up from the sun’s chromosphere to heights of about 6,000 miles (10,000km).

In the centre of the field of view, a small eruption is visible, with cooler material being lifted upwards before mostly falling back down. Although small relative to the largest events, this eruption is still larger than Earth.

The footage also reveals coronal rain, which at less than 10,000C looks dark against the bright background of large coronal loops (about 1,000,000C)...

... The $1.3bn (£1bn) mission was launched in 2020 and next year will begin to climb out of the planetary plane to provide the first glimpses of the sun’s uncharted north and south poles.

Beautifully spectacular on a stellar scale!


Enjoy,

Keep searchin'!
