A10anissays...Witnessing the, literally, incomprehensible scale and power of the sun - a relatively small object in the universe - puts its own scale on our puny existence. Not only are we an insignificant distraction to earth, the earth is an insignificant distraction to the sun, and the sun is an insignificant distraction to the universe. And yet, still, there are the deluded who maintain that; "It was all created just for us."
EMPIREsays...Can someone help me with a doubt I have about this video? Is the motion of the flare and the sun surface in real time? Does it really move THAT fast?

siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Music) - requested by ant.
AeroMechanicalsays...Someone needs to find a way to make this loop nicely, and then a way for me to use the resulting video as my desktop background.
Pretty please with sugar on top.
YoDaDeeOhsays...from the YT description:
The footage in this video was collected by the Solar Dynamics Observatory's AIA instrument. SDO collected one frame every 12 seconds, and the movie plays at 30 frames per second, so each second in this video corresponds to 6 minutes of real time. The video covers 12:30 a.m. EDT to 10:00 p.m. EDT on July 19, 2012.
