Dynamic Surface

I couldn’t sleep the other night.
For some bizarre reason I was obsessing over the structure and movement of the Sun’s surface.

Granulation caused by convection columns….


Coronal loops (plasma trapped in magnetic flux)…


Neither of these features is static.
It’s easy to forget how incredibly dynamic the Sun really is.

Physics on a grand and beautiful scale - and on an ordinary, fairly small star in its middle-age!

@ArishMell sounds like my spirit star, small and middle aged 🙂

Dude put the acid back in the drawer. You've had way too much. And no you can't sleep on the sun. There's not only nothing static about it it's too damn hot
