NASA | First Images of the Sun in 3-D

[falcocastillo123]

while NASA was taking pictures of the sun, chuck norris was having his casual 2:00

P.M swim in it...

[ethicalbro]

Does anyone see something wrong here? How can the Sun stay in a plasma state at the same time generate "THERMONUCLEAR" explosions? Where is the fuel coming from?

[Soulless99]

@ethicalbro

Fusion of hydrogen and helium if i remember. Thats the reaction that "drives" the sun and radiates energy.

[anacelialeoa]

ainda nao muito

[cjellwood]

?? Just put some sunglasses on and look out the window if you want to see the sun in 3D!

[ethicks00]

@cjellwood

Wow we have a retarded comedian folks! Why don't you try putting on glasses and looking directly at the sun. I hope you burn your fucking retinas.

[cjellwood]

@ethicks00 chill winston

[halomaster22323]

@ethicks00 I did it bitch. Nothing happened to me. Why don't you try it without sunglasses & your eyes will actually melt?

[sbarudzija]

actually guys, smart people don't fight over where they are from. that's for sheep. why even argue about who's smarter? both have politicians that are psychotic and both have innovative minds. we are just people. when we argue, the bad guys win. 

[Lizardmanification]

Blue Waffle right there !!

[Delphinus64]

And the Sun goes over

[Cedimedi]

my glasses works a bit, but the quality is not very good to see it in 3d

[CarmellaWelkes8]

hmmcan somebody rescue mehh from my loneliness really bored today

[elcaptainkebab]

Fuck England! I'm Welsh. lol

[XabiDellugo]

british accent sucksaurus.

[poikaa3]

The glasses work! I have a pair of the cardboard things left over from some promotion from Wendy's "Watch ABC in 3D"....

[SonicNoize]

I see a baby at 0:25 O.o

[TheBrittBoy]

Maybe we Americans can educate you Brits on how to fight tooth decay there Mikelheron20

[mikelheron20]

If I were you I wouldn't base my knowledge of Brits on bad Mike Myers' movies. There's absolutely nothing worth learning that Americans can teach the British.

[GobochiXD]

course one-third of British aren't obese...

[Mrcharliebobo]

@GobochiXD - NO, but one third are Muslims that are taking over your country! assclown!

[GobochiXD]

Im american...

[harrynicholas]

You know I can see the sun from my garden, and my eyesight is pretty poor too. Have a 'robbie'.

[jr2nd]

lovely 3d vid

[mikelheron20]

I can't believe this argument. Fatalerror - please stop embarrassing yourself. You have made a basic error. Speak to your geometry teacher (no need to bother a physics teacher). Crazybastard - stop picking on the little guy. He's humiliated himself. Isn't that enough for you?

[GobochiXD]

CB is just some 28 year old nerd who probably spends all his time playing warcraft and turned white from sitting in front the PC so long.

[Unlocktube]

Looks like faces, cool.

[brian8793]

Do I need to buy 3-d glasses at 7-eleven to see something or what.lol

[xiwow]

It takes aprox 200,000 years for light from the center of the sun to reach its surface, can you imagine being able to run as fast as the speed of light,

The sun is truly amazing pure energy is created at the centre and has a life span of 200,000 years before its 8 minute journey to earth to bless us with its life-force energy,

Angels created in Suns?

[xBabyKel]

the Sun has life span way more than that, you gotta learn your science before talking.

it has approx;

10,000,000,000 years of lifespan,

and currently is about 5,000,000,000 years old now.

and for your info, each second, the Sun produces so much heat that it is equal to approx 100 Earth-mass energys/ or ~40,000,000 truck load of fuel.

get your facts right first before sharing your thoughts with us. (;

[crazybastard82]

you misinterpreted xiwow's comment. they said that the energy created at the center is already hundreds of thousands of years old before it escapes the photosphere and goes into space because of collisions on its journey through the sun's interior. this is common knowledge in any upper level astrophysics class, so they DID have their facts straight. you just need to be less eager to rip on someone just to show off your brains online.

[cedKel]

i know, i already chatted with him through PM.

like i told him, he should add some punctuations, to prevent misleading facts.

and whoever said i was so eager to rip on someone? i know my standards, and i don't need you to tell me what to do. true, there's some things i don't know, but that's for me to find out, not for you to brag about it.

that's all, peace.

[cassandraelettra]

Niente e na palla di fuoco..

[EdgeStormcrow]

my guess is you could fit like 10,000 earths in the sun.. and like 1000 in jupiter. forgot the suns diameter off hand

[crazybastard82]

sun's diameter is ~100 earth diameters...

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

you are way off.

[crazybastard82]

not really. estimates put the value at 108-109 earth diameters. i used 100 'cuz it was a nice round number. astronomers are notorious for estimations....didn't you get the memo? lol....

[lmaines]

109.125 earth diameters. figured i'd check for sure

[Fatalerror300]

its actually more like a million earth diameters.. lol your a fucking idiot, 100 earths to fill the sun? LOL did you ever go to school?

[Fatalerror300]

Its a fact that the earth can fit into the sun over 1,000,000 times. It is so massive that it accounts for 99.9% of all of the matter in the solar system.

and your trying to tell me it only takes 100 earths to equal its diameter? Lmao, ok buddy i think you need some more schooling before you post anymore comments on youtube.

[mikelheron20]

That would be the formula for the VOLUME of the Sun - if it was a cube. Spheres are a little more tricky and entail the use of pi - coming back to you is it? However, since you like cubes - imagine a box 1 metre x 1 metre x 1 metre. Volume = 1 cubic metre. Now fill it with sugar cubes (about 1 cubic centmetre each) - placed accurately on top of each other. How many sugar cubes? - 1 million. BUT the number of cubes in a line along each side = 100. We Brits are always happy to educate Americans.

[TheBrittBoy]

One thing you taught us is how to murder native peoples and steal there land

[mikelheron20]

Pity we didn't teach you how to spell. As regards murdering native peoples and stealing their land we did have a head start on you. But, knowing something of the qualities of Americans, I'm confident you would have figured it out all by yourselves.

[ben14279]

England 1 - 0 America

[crazybastard82]

before accusing people of needing more school you should try some research on the subject and do some fact checking. also, here's a quick lesson: just because something is MASSIVE doesn't mean it is LARGE. here's a question for you, oh all-knowing-one: consider a lead ball the size of a baseball and a styrofoam ball the size of a bed...which one is more massive??? as i said, i'm an ASTROPHYSICS major, so don't try to wax intellectual with me over astronomy...KID.

[crazybastard82]

i still can't get over the fact that you don't know the difference between diameter and volume....lmfao. i mean, damn dude, that's like basic geometry....lol. and to see you acting like you know more than me when i use a level of mathematics and physics that would blow your mind....i'm just laughing my ass off at you right now. thanks for the smile, kid.

[Fatalerror300]

No problem, your 27 years old and your arguing with a 17 year old on the internet. I guess all the schooling in the world cant help you with being pathetic. so tell me.. whos really the kid here? If i was 8 years old would you still try and win in a convo with me? lol. Grow up.. Kid.

[crazybastard82]

there's a big difference between an 8 year old who doesn't know any better and a 17 year old punk who thinks he's all bad calling me a "******* idiot." i wasn't the one who started with the insults, KID. i'm just calling you on your ignorance, with the hope that you check your mouth in the future before you say something dumb like that to someone who's NOT on the internet so you won't get your teeth knocked out. us old "pathetic" guys are just trying to guide you, lol.

[crazybastard82]

again: thanks for the laugh, little guy...lol

[crazybastard82]

do you even know how the sun works? do you know what the proton-proton chain is? do you know what the difference is between hydrostatic equalibrium and thermal equalibrium? limb darkening? photosphere? chromosphere? the gravitational constant? granulation? the difference between flares and prominences? magnetic reconnection? come on, kid, this is astro 101 stuff right here, but i'm sure you have no idea what these things are without google. feeling owned yet? lmfao....

[crazybastard82]

your fatal error was opening your mouth before you used your brain. i compared the sun's diameter to the earth's diameter, NOT its volume. don't you know the difference between volume and diameter? considering the fact that i'm the astrophysics major with years of college math and physics under my belt, and you're just some dweeb who doesn't know the difference between volume and diameter, you should keep your mouth shut.

[joshuaparkes]

I am AT school, and just done an exam on this, so to stop the arguing, it is millions of the earth's mass, that would be required to fill up the mass of the Sun. The Sun takes up 94.82% of the Solar System, when all of the planets masses, and the mass of the sun, are taken into account.

[mikelheron20]

Good grief! Just look it up. The Sun has a diameter of approximately 870,000 miles. The Earth has a diameter of 7926 miles (at the equator). Therefore the Sun's diameter is just over 100 times that of the Earth.

[EdgeStormcrow]

i was afraid to look. such a monster the Sun. Like staring into the eyes of Gorgon.

[groovingsoul]

Thanks PimpTurkey08,if you hadn't said that (to lolpatrolz)I would've.

Its bloody annoying to read these Tex which only makes sense to it's writer himself.

I know what he's trying to say but I had waste my time to decipher it.

[PimpTurkey08]

can't you just use normal words?you want to look smarter or wtf ... and about the moon and earth ... its all about optics,use google!

[HipHopJun]

lolpatrolz, you must be from the south.

[zeldafan95]

??? o_0 wth?

[HipHopJun]

i replied to 'lolpatrolz'. his comment made no sense.

[calosity]

The moon actually isn't bigger than the sun from our view. They are relatively the same size, which is why during a total solar eclipse, you can only see the ring of fire around the sun.

Also, you sound like an idiot.

[shmashx]

This makes me want to have 3D glasses.

I don't want to have to order them for 4.99 off of the internet, thank you very much.

Why can't I-Max make them free and we can take them home with us? ;D

[TVK1337]

Cuz Imax doesn't use the Red/Cyan glasses. They won't work on this video.

[jmm1233]

i think i need new stereo glasses , mine are broken

[Akmasterman]

i see sun spots and... the are as big as earth because sun is million times bigger than earth

[eliotguitar]

109 Earth can fit inside the Sun!

[mouseclick92]

That's wrong. Actually, the Sun has an 109 times wider diameter.

[damstudios]

yeah, gotta be more than that surley

[eliotguitar]

I meant that you can place 109 Earths inside the diameter of the Sun.

[mike220889]

yea so you can fit around 109^3 earths inside the sun

[acroboomslayer]

i saw some sun spots

[josa619]

30km per hour

[josa619]

30km per hour

[SoldierCyfix]

I saw 2 flares! oh and i think i can see the sun's chorona layer

[RyleyWynn]

I wonder what is the speed of its rotation

[Fall3nSoul21]

lucky i always keep my stereo goggles handy :D

[smallini]

so im thinking the sun is in a plasma state not a gas or liquid? because stars are plasma correct me if im totally wrong

[kimailis]

well, it depends, in the center it is solid, on the surface it is probably a very dense plasma that looks like liquid(because of the density), and gas, because i dont think that elements can be identified while in plasma state.

maybe they are identified by the outbursts that happen on the sun.

[stopreadingmynameplz]

the sun is mostly hydrogen so i would say its mainly a gasd

[kimailis]

well, it is made of gas but it is so hot and dense that i would call it solid plasma lol.

[WeAreTheRobots]

@kimailis

The center of the Sun is not solid. It's in plasma state, and this permits the nuclear reactions inside. The identity of an element depends solely in the number of protons in the nucleus, and different numbers of neutrons define different isotopes of a given element.

The number of electrons is then irrelevant, and one uses the term "ionisation state" to refer to the number of electrons missing from a neutral version of the atom. Fe I is neutral iron, Fe III is doubly ionized iron.

[ATyger]

@smallini The core is semi-solid metals surrounded by gases that chain together to create the plasmid corona and surface.

[joudheus]

@smallini Plasma was so 1928.

[WeAreTheRobots]

@smallini

A late answer, but yes, it's a plasma.

In the plasma state, which is similar to a gas, a fraction of the atoms are ionized (this is, with one or more of their electrons dissociated), but these electrons are still part of the whole mixture.

[BrandonTsia]

@smallini All 4. There is actually solid iron and gold in the core of the Sun.

[snuffy525]

@BrandonTsia i didn't think there could be any solids at the core, not at 27 million degrees F.

[BrandonTsia]

@snuffy525 They are just extremely dense

[TahitiPetey]

type "PHJ sun" for my SOHO Montage
