[darktroll8]

guys this is really cool, but its fake. none of this is mentioned in the bible.

[MrR0bert0o]

Obviously they were all amazing, but number five was simply mind blowing!

[pyrosparkes]

how do they know it was a sun spots he saw, and not venus and mercury?

[G3org3Master]

@pyrosparkes who knows. Maybe the date in the text was a date when the planets don't align. Maybe Mercury and venus and the sun and the earth do not align...

[johnjaksic61]

Another well done vid--looks as if Galileo was beaten to the Sun Spot recording by a "few hundred years----at least!"

SImply well done!

[megamarko94]

[B3cKStAgE]

SubhanAllaah

[mathfreak123]

How did the guy back in 1128 record #10?

[scorpion779946]

@mathfreak123 he drew it

[mathfreak123]

@scorpion779946 Sorry. I'll try to be a bit more specific about my question. How was he able to view the sunspots of the Sun in order to draw it?

[scorpion779946]

@mathfreak123 I'm not sure... A very dark-screened telescope? (Do those exist?)

[SmitHolm]

"and they sat transfixed as this little dot moved"......

[twistedbass15]

3D no time involved ? 4D including time ?

The Sun is on fire

[AntiProtonBoy]

Mercury is a great place for a tan.

[squimball]

In fact, I have one of the solar storms as the first video published on my channel. From 5/15/2005 in KY / USA - hey 5/15/05 (lots of 5's haha). Yay! If you are lazy, it is here ... watch?v=g9pJ04NdU4M I love ur channel btw! :)

[puretroubleman]

[ThirstyJuicebox2]

The Pale Blue Dot is such a profound picture of Earth that it can make its way into a list of favorite pictures of the sun!

[bemanos12345]

nicee

[RectumPilum]

When I look at this, I realize how possible it is to kill someone just by showing them how incredibly unsignifficant they are compared to the universe, like in The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy...

[Eldejot]

@RectumPilum And then Zaphod comes along and just eats the cake.

[RectumPilum]

Turtle crossing!

[BackstageScience]

@UserNamei5 the SOHO website is pretty comprehensive!

[kurtjmac]

@UserNamei5 All of the archives of SOHO data is available on the mission website: sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/d­ata.html

[Tinteskou]

He isn't facing the camera whilst talking! :O what's going on there? :P

[sureup]

Cool video

[Nyphur]

The pale blue dot :D

[JShadic]

The Carrington solar flare of 1858 would be a good video topic I would think.

[Un5een]

woop woop! :D 

[igext]

My real name means the Rising Sun.

[Spencerianism]

2:45 to 3:05...WOW!  We're like a tiny rock in a turbulant sea of radiation, billowing from the Sun. That's impressive.

[BGenerous]

Images of the space station and shuttle transiting the sun are cool. For example

astrophoto (dot) fr

[Zolotniik]

@BGenerous

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of!

[BackstageScience]

@BGenerous yeah, that's pretty amazing stuff.

[steadfast1984]

where can I view that 3D sun video in full? I have the glasses.

[Zolotniik]

Incredible images, and I am astounded someone could see a sunspot in 1128!

One of my favourite images is of the ISS and Atlantis transiting the Sun; incredibly striking and humbling.

It can be found at Incredible images, and I am astounded someone could see a sunspot in 1128!
