Understanding The Sun - The Heliophysics Program

[Levon9404]

NASA has to be completely ignorant or to arrogant except I was able to know suns true function ahead of them. If they truly want to know how sun is functioning I have the whole explanation for them with evidence. Could be they think if they have all that technology on their possession no body beside them will be able to know how things are functioning out there. Well they can stay as stupid as they are or they will give me opportunity to explain what I know!!

[doowop62]

Plazma? Questionable. Believe me if the Sun were to be investigated in heliographic white light and it were truly exposed without digital edit, one's socks would be knocked off at the sight; creation at it's finest..........

[crankabit]

Hot diggidy dog I wanna do dat

[haloman2814]

how much is the anual salary of a heliophysist?

And what are the working conditions?

Plz reply ASAP

[fluffydanny]

The sun burns its on waste to make more energy. The sun is forever.

[quince4eva]

Actually The sun will eventually go out.

[fluffydanny]

The sun burns it's own waste. It will never go out.

[tuseroni]

@fluffydanny um the law of conservation of energy would like to have a word with you...

[cmsalvagio]

In the beginning is the music from the Polyphonic Spree?

[Jeyzze]

As we learn more about the sun.. we'd better understand our home(Earth) our neighbors n our place in the solar system.. we can then apply the knowledge to our journeys in space n most importantly to our lives.... here on earth!!!

[bigboy45454545]

Polish Scientists are embarking on an ambitious program to send a manned mission to the sun.

They're going at night!

[OlCapitain]

@bigboy45454545

........just wow lol

[1PintLasher]

@bigboy45454545 lol

[kchidott]

wats op

[richmantck]

sweet video.. make more!

[DamienZshadow]

Facinating, I love the brilliant visuals and cinematography used to show how the data comes to us from the satellites.

[anglicantian]

Everyone knows heliocentrism is a false religion. Stupid dogmatic physicists, why won't they teach the geocentric controversy? Heliocentrism is the basis for an immoral worldview anyway.

[bengacris]

what the fuck? you really think that all is orbiting around the earth? WOW you need learning in astronomy mate

[anglicantian]

@bengacris

I don't know if it's sad or funny that you think I'm being serious.

Check my profile, that might give you a hint mate :)

[townes66]

I masturbated to this video.

twice.

[ShadowofProclimaton]

"better understand our home, our makers" Please keep your religious bs out of it.

[rltmlt]

After Obama shuts down NASA, all our science will be based on religious BS !

[burny6666]

obama wants to shut down nasa?...bullshit,

[Eugensdiet]

Nice video but it could have had 5 minutes of meat attached to it.. I really think they need to rethink how the solar system was formed. It doesn't explain the ecliptic nature of the planets or the distribution of the planets. Recently they have reduced the percentage of stars that are like the sun downward to 25% (our galaxy). That is still a large number which makes it appear that the sun and the solar system was formed systematically following a series of natural steps.

[Raptor302]

@ 1:08 I like how Jupiter is like six times bigger than the sun in that diagram.

Yes, I'm a knit-picker :P

[WarriorOfWoW]

nit-picker*. A nit is the egg or youth of a small insect, like lice eggs. You pick them out because you don't want them hatching.

I'm a bit of a nit-picker, myself. :D

[rltmlt]

Nit Picker: One who searches for a lost Tampax string !

[D34dFilms]

Well Jupiter is the biggest planet in this solar system besides Pluto.

Duh.. Idiot

Jking for all you dumb ones.

[bengacris]

lol beside pluto, he's a dumb ass

[Hemulen40]

Da sun´s hard to grasp ? ( ;

[xsboost25psi]

yea, because it'll burn your hand. and it's REALLY big.

[bengacris]

REALLY REALLY BIG, and when you compare it to other star the is fucking NOTHING like Antares, big 0.0

[xsboost25psi]

That's just awesome. That settles it, I'm gonna be the first person to go to the sun. I'm gonna go at night during the winter so it's not so hot.

[mercenary616]

@xsboost25psi ahaahahahahahaha!

[bushputz]

@xsboost25psi

Don't forget your suncreen (SPF 15,000,000 or higher recommended)

[aimforcentermass]

I believe Dr. Sheldon Cooper would follow that with a "Bazinga".

[D34dFilms]

Lol

[Hahahailovedogs]

*Because of course there is such a thing as day/night and seasons on the SUN...*

Sorry, to burst the bubble :P

[xsboost25psi]

@Hahahailovedogs shshshsh! Don't ruin my denial.

[mykegoh]

@xsboost25psi

Man..take me with you.!!!!

[5T34LTHcamoT4NK]

@xsboost25psi LOL, nice one

[bjarte3011]

One of the coolest vids I've seen on the subject so far!

Favorite and 5 stars!

[wryip350]

6/5 stars

[organdva]

What causes Suns magnetic field?

[DeZieligheid666]

@organdva

Same as earths, Induction currents in liquid metal (Me thinks :P)

[organdva]

@DeZieligheid666

Thanks for answering :)

Isn't nuclear fusion something about converting hydrogen into helium and then at the end some other elements come into play?

[DeZieligheid666]

@organdva Yeah you're right, I actually did some research and I'm completely wrong , It is in a way the same process then earth, just in another way, in the sun it's trough convection in inductive plasma, so just replace metal by plasma, which is partially ionized gas (beats me in the head for saying the sun had metal in it (<.<) just wiki the damn thing :P

[rhn94]

@organdva balls ..

[bengacris]

Convection movement in the sun, of all his matter moving, like other planets

[HerrDerDinge]

0:45 =) yummy =)

And the rest of the video is amazing too :D

[LDBeliMusick]

wow that girl at 0:45 looks like my ex lol

[angelxsid]

Wow, amazing video.

[LeksServices]

Awesome! Mebbe we'll find a link between the sun and global warming. XD

[ThatOneQuestion]

That was a real treat-thanks!

[HiAdrian]

Solar research is very important. Most people have no awareness of the beastly ball in our proximity, beyond plain symbolism.

When watching the sun set or rise, i sometimes think about its enormous distance and what this implies about its size, truly eerie because THERE IT IS!

And if it stands high in the sky and burns the skin, one can think of the massive radiation rushing through space and the trillions of weakly-interacting particles flying through you every second.

[bengacris]

When I look the sun I always say me there's a big ball of "burning gaz up there always turning and emiting rays", and everybody in the streets walk normally, but me thinking about that

[LAnonHubbard]

Great video. Thought provoking.

[lazyperfectionist1]

Holy crap! That was awesome! I'll never look at the sun the same way again! Not that I recommend looking at the sun, mind you.

[Supportahol]

I love the graphics of these vids.

[LordNapalm]

Excellent video. Very well produced. This is the kind of thing NASA needs to keep making, to get people interested in science and space exploration. Put this bad boy on TV. Also, you should link to SOHO and STEREO in the side bar. There is an awesome Windows sidebar app called FullSun that gives you real time images and video from SOHO right on your desktop. Also awesome.

[bengacris]

hey thanks :D

[saltycreefer]

@ 4:05 I transfer knowledge to the stars every night.

[CoolConejo]

i wish i was borne 100 years from now, wait. make that 2. That would be a fascinating world to see.

[LargeSingingMoose]

I like the tune that plays at the start. Anyone know where it's from?

[volound]

@LargeSingingMoose the video

[LargeSingingMoose]

@volound I figured it was a rehash of a more popularly known tune. Disappointment :-(

[LargeSingingMoose]

@volound Hmm that introduction isn't present on the original video on NASA's website. If it is from somewhere else I'd like to know :S

[cerealk53]

So pretty! I want a giant poster of those images

[falconfira]

*thinks about a dyson sphere*

[blazednlovinit]

@falconfira i reckon we'll end up putting close orbitting solar power stations around the sun and beaming power back to Earth. eventually you get so many that they're all worth joining up and you have a dyson sphere in the making ^^

[saltycreefer]

oH YEAH, A dyson SPHERE!!! WTF is a dyson sphere? Guess I'll search it.

[BFDK]

This was a great video and promotion! :)

[madjimms]

THIS is what my child/children WILL be learning!

[HPT50]

almost makes you wish you were back at school. awesome stuff

[Phoboskomboa]

Not if the Texas board of education has anything to say about it.

[madjimms]

@Phoboskomboa Homeschool time?

[gir908922]

I can has moar science, plz?

[helltrackrider]

Sun of a bitch..that was interesting.

[Supportahol]

LOL!

[MilitantPeaceist]

TYVM - again 8)))))
