Extremely terrifying and beautiful

These pictures truly deserve the (unfortunately overused) adjective awesome.

I love this post because my phones background changed 8 times before I got to the end.

Many Bananas for scale were sacrificed for these photos. They can't be seen due to a technical problem of being instantly vaporized.
dropbear128
There was another technical problem of being infinitesimally small in comparison but Frank is working on that one.

Lisa was in charge of making sure there were no mix ups with Metric and Standard Bananas. That part worked. Awesome Job Lisa!

I heard Phil ate some of the metric bananas

If you look closely, you can see California.

That's what blows my mind the most. Those flares are bigger than our fucking planet!

Amazing!

I agree. Just imagine the amount of energy in just one of those flares.
bananacake8008
Sure glad we’re a nice comfortable distance away

Well that answers my question. Thank you!

Sometimes I forget that we're hurtling through space at an alarming rate, orbiting what is more or less a permanent explosion.

idontenglishsorry
do you think there is a civilization that can live in the sun athmosphere but we wont make contact with them because, well, you know 1/2
idontenglishsorry

There is a race like that in a book series I'm reading called "The Saga of Seven Suns" by Kevin J Anderson.
KillingTlme
Probably not. But it doesn't make it impossible, just improbable.
Kremithe
Better question is can there exist a reactionary system that is programmable and stable in that environment.
idontenglishsorry
I guess one could eventually develop

The thing that gets me is when they're like, "oh and that little splurt in the picture is 100 times the size of the Earth."
SjorsM
While surface gravity is roughly 27 times stronger than on earth. The amount of force is incredible.
DarthFluffyBottom
and we are just waiting for the big one, that will knock us back to the stone age.

From another root comment just below yours at this time:

I'm sorry doc, but all I see are demons from these sun blot tests. Except one, looked like a penis.

significant studies of solar flares is required to allow time travel by utilizing wormholes created by a device called the Stargate

The outside or photosphere of the sun is much cooler than one would expect at around 5500°C

so, basically summer in Florida to put that into context.

Much like the salespeople say- location, location, location. most of it is empty and boring as fuck, hence why we call it "space"
aykyle
Really is. Just thinking about the sun boggles the mind.
