This Is Real Footage of the Sun’s Surface (Incredible!)

See the Sun Like Never Before! Did you know that we can actually look at the Sun's surface, the layer where light escapes into space after thousands of years bouncing around inside? Also known as the photosphere, this bizarre, bubbling layer holds many mysteries, but we can see it in all its chaotic glory!

thing that amazes me about the sun is when it has eruptions the gravity is so strong that it pulls the erupted plasma back down to the surface, and you can see it as an arc as it gets pulled back, beautiful stuff.

It is crazy, that sun has 99.3% of all the matter in our solar system. All the planets, moons and asteroids are just 0, 7%.

In spite of all the activity on the sun, it's photosphere and corona, it's still a relatively quiescent star compared to so many others. Thank goodness!!!

What’s crazy is I live in the northeast US and on June 8, 2023 the residual smoke from the Canadian wildfires was so thick in the atmosphere that I could stare directly at the sun for the first time in my life without any special equipment and without feeling any blinding effects. It was pretty surreal to look at this giant ball of burning gas, that makes all life on earth possible, with my own eyes.

The sun is 93 million miles from earth and I can still feel its heat. It must be that hot.

Sun spots aren't really black. They're actually very bright but not quite as bright as the rest of the photosphere.

[chadhosmer]

It's crazy to think it has been burning for the last 4.6 billion years!

How lucky we are in our time line,
to see such wonderous things as this...

my favorite, v101..💞

[tribefenatic]

thank god! nothing jumped in my screen screaming. I been getting a lot of those lately

[peterngeti]

The level of physics at play in the universe is so grand and refined it's mind-numbingly stupid to think this would all just come by thru chance! Damn!!!!

[cojovamanolo]

If the surface is that hot, imagine the inside. And that's with the surface fighting against the coldness of space. The entropy is incredible...

Sun flares or also known as CME Coronal Mass Ejection.

[derekgreig]

It's just a natural enormous fusion reactor

[artcurious]

the earth is about due for a major CME

[dracoxx]

space as a whole just have me mind blown, it's like a infinite hard drive

[Geloooooooooo]

That's what it feels like living in the philippines

[eurooceania]

The average sunspot (black dots on the sun's surface) equals the full earth in size.
That's fascinating.

All this scares me so much. We are just so tiny
