NASA’s SDO Captures Cascading Magnetic Arches

Показать описание
A dark solar filament above the sun's surface became unstable and erupted on Dec. 16-17, 2015, generating a cascade of magnetic arches. A small eruption to the upper right of the filament was likely related to its collapse. The arches of solar material appear to glow as they emit light in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths, highlighting the charged particles spinning along the sun's magnetic field lines. This video was taken in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths of 193 angstroms, a type of light that is typically invisible to our eyes, but is colorized here in bronze.

Once,
in the future,
the Mother of these magnetic arches will swallow our Earth...

Its twirling? The sun twirls on his own axis? Never came to know this. Sorry for my ignorance.

it reminds me of the sun. scientifically the sun is our creator and sustinance. it is our god, yet it is hell. it is an inferno by which all others do not compare.
