wanted to see what would happen after they went out of view, looked like they were squaring up for a fight.

Hihetetlen, hogy ezek a sötét foltok is csak pár fokkal hűvösebbek a felszínnél...

Que bonito

You are both wrong, this is obviously a Lolseismic Omgnetic Imgurer from the ROFLscope. If you look at the suns yellow tone you'll see that it's the same as on the Awesome Smiley.

Death Star?

This is what happens on the surface of a star.

Incredible! The Sun has its own black holes. :)

I call polar centrifugal Heliocentric! It is the emerging shift lees solar ... The two poles to the equator of the star Sol * "The set of images that have mounted this video were capitate during the time of a lunation.

I would not want to be above those spots when the magnetic fields snap.

[molson111]

well obviously that was a helioseismic and magnetic SOHO/MDI vector magnetogram. you can tell.



[LittleSDOHMI]

@molson111 No, this was the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on SDO, obviously. MDI does not have this resolution and cadence.

[molson111]

@LittleSDOHMI Indubitably!

@LittleSDOHMI SMART PEOPLE

[binarygraphite]

Wow! That was awesome!

[Amiduffer]

God damn, amazing that you could track that with such accuracy.

[teridon]

@Amiduffer actually this is a zoomed-in track. The instrument views the entire Sun in high resolution at all times. So the video is just focusing on one interesting part (the active region).

[Amiduffer]

@teridon Pretty good resolution for such a large surface. Science is awesome, when governments are sane enough to fund it.

[TuneTamasha]

Eggs and bacon :D

[RIOT690]

 Reminds me of a liquid :D
