    The sun demon will be at Earth in a few days.

    Seriously though that looks like nothing I’ve ever seen about the sun before.

    Do you know if there’s any place I can download a higher quality version of this? Tried to look on SDO website but couldn’t find this one

    I for one welcome the new Plasma Dragon Overloard from his realm on the Sun, we could use a good burning away of all the crazy from the Earth, we had our flood, now is the time for fire! All hail our Plasma Dragon Overloard, John.

    Based on that fact we can see the curvature of the sun this ejection must be many times larger than Earth, wild.

  5. What would that even look like if you could stand underneath that on the surface? Something multiple planets large lifting off and then becoming engulfed in plasma? That is a view that existed from that spot for an instant. It could never be witnessed by person or camera (not yet, please?) but that sight from that spot could have been witnesed because it was real.. Utterly amazing.

    Edit, plasma not flame

    They say the sun will last another 4,000,000,000 years or so, but not if it keeps doing stuff like this.

    Good riddance to whatever that planet sized ball of superheated plasma will be hitting with mach 10…

    I always wonder if and how much videos like this are sped up, if they’re not than these eruptions must be moving at close to lightspeed

  9. I’m guessing that was moving at close to the speed of light? The scale here is gargantuan and it covers the entire screen in an instant.

    Just double checking…this is the SUN, and not Mr. Shadow, right?

    Hmm. That still image sure looks like a Darkness Pyramid from The Witness…
