Video Shows Plasma Rain on the Surface of the Sun

Now THAT was awesome, my friends. Reminds us all of the beauties that lie outside of our little floating rock we call home.

This is why I worship the Sun.

Asks for nothing in return, I can see it, has the power to genocide us all but instead gives us life.

If only I could be so beautifully incandescent as her.

I wanted to say something to this effect aswell...

Man, if you could harness those beams into a weapon, it'd be unstoppable. Crazy amount of energy.

Really good for destroying the planet.

 

[ThunderCavalier]

So, can someone say that we set fire to the rain?

... I know, I know. Bad joke.

OK, in all honesty, that looked pretty badass.

 

[kael013]

The fire... It's soooooo pretty...

 

[dfphetteplace]

Beautiful and terrifying all at once.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Crazy to think that just one of those drops of plasma rain is about the size of North America. Videos like this always make me feel so small and insignificant. Then I start watching size comparisons of stars and galaxies and feel even smaller.

I love the universe.

We already have nukes for that, I'm thinking a beam weapon to destroy asteroids.

I can't get that old chocolate rain song out of my head.

(im turning my head so the plasma doesn't burn the mic)

 

[Yabba]

Plasma, raaaiiinn, some stay dry while others feel the pain.

sorry I just had to

 

[BrionJames]

Makes me wish we had safer and affordable space travel. Beautiful video though.

 

[Do4600]

I love those explosions that happen and then are pulled back into the sun the same way they went out.

 

[Racecarlock]

Don't mess up that arwing!

 

[Aptspire]

The whole time, I was getting ready to compartmentalize/vent my ship...

 

[Zen Toombs]

That was glorious.....

Science is awesome.
