Churning clouds above the Sun

Cloud-like structures in the background above the Sun churn from the passage of magnetic ripples called Alfvén waves, which may be responsible for the extreme heat of the Sun's corona. Vertical jets called spicules dance closer to the Sun's surface.

@JMnDC4eva You're not very bright, are you Josh? Seems like you're the only one here who didn't get the joke.

Thanks, though, because your angry, clueless response was even better then the actual joke.

We're not laughing with you, we're laughing AT you. I imagine you get a lot of that.

Okay, so I mis-spelled "relatively."

This is YouTube, after all.

I thought it was funny. I mean, if we can't have some fun regarding something of which we are all relaively ignorant, then that is a sad state of affairs. Right, Jim?

:-P (lol)

I would have expected more from this crowd, honestly.

@Rinduri I do think it's funny, that's why I wrote it. Now you know.

@ericr64

It's kind of hard to blame him, I mean, what your saying is absolutely ridiculous. If you had even the slightest education in hell... even general science... then you would realize that. It's kind of funny, really.

Also, you have no room to judge, lol.

@JMnDC4eva Seiously Jim, you have the mentality of a ten year old and the mouth of drunken sailor. If you can't debate without swearing and defamation then refrain from debating at all. Knowledge is power, bullying is ugly and the mark of a mental midget. (you would have looked better to have simply stated the facts instead of mistaking saractic nonsense for seriousness)

[JMnDC4eva]

@ericr64 no i wouldnt, im not racist, if so HOW!?! and you must be high cuz your obviously a dumbfuck

[ericr64]

@JMnDC4eva Like you wouldn't want to live on a planet of white dwarfs. You either have achondroplasiaphobia or you're just plain racist. We would reside comfortabley as the dominant race so back off jerk.
