Beat me by 4 minutes But cool none-the-less

This is not real. Just special effects created using the sun's magnetic fields for refrence.

"Combining their in-house lab culture experience with formidable artistic instincts in sound, animation and programming, they have created a magnetic magnum opus in nuce, a tour de force of a massive invisible force brought down to human scale, and a “very most beautiful thing.” "

Since Mars lacks a magnetosphere, perhaps a man-made equivalent is being researched? We'll need some kind of protection from the sun out there.

what? what the hell is she explaining? magnetic hairy balls what?

One of my dreams is to be able to see magentic fields (radio waves too). This was amazing.

yes, amazing... rendering...

> what the hell is she explaining? magnetic hairy balls what?

She is describing the magnetic lines of force throughout the Sun and its environment. The Suns hairy balls are seen repeatedly here:

Wait til the sun goes down, put a deckchair in your back garden, ingest 500 grams of LSD, and you'll be able to watch them for about 5 hours in complete wonder and astonishment. The next day you will be completely at a loss to describe a single bit of it using any form of words whatsoever.

trying to understand what she's saying is like listening to this guy

*animation but pretty sweet.

Adding video to channels (Animation) - requested by gwiz665.

LOL! Wow, I had not seen that before... wild.

Is it just me or was that pretty damn boring. I'd rather watch some kid play with the mustache and hair magnets/iron filing toy. I also thought the commentary was asinine and directed towards 4th graders. And what's with the annoying radio static type sound thing going on? Is this supposed to simulate the sound of a real visual magnetic detector? LAME.

It also wasn't made by NASA, but rather by English artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt for BBC Channel 4. The interviews were shot at the Space Sciences Lab, UC Berkly, but the film and animation are by the artists.
