Shot into the Sun!!!!



Via Buphonia comes this amazing photograph of the surface of the sun, which coincidentally, looks EXACTLY like I imagine it would if a conservative were shot into it.
The surface of the sun as observed by the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) in high temporal and spatial resolution. From coronal filaments, loops and mass ejections, magnetic arcades, ultraviolet and X-ray storms, and escaping prominences, earth-bound to create spectacular auroral displays or to wreak havoc on power grids and satellite telecommunication systems -- all archived in one giant database.

Excellent!!

Thanks, Phila.
