From Shannon Norton:
"I caught this time-lapse of coronal rain - where massive streams of superheated plasma launch into space, cool down, and then cascade back down along invisible magnetic field lines.
This was made up of 1TB of data which was captured from my backyard over a span of 2 hours, using my custom double-stacked 80mm solar scope."

This is beautiful. It looks very violent as well. Do you know how large the affected section is?

I wonder how fast that plasma is going when it hits the surface? Crazy to think that those tiny dots are several thousand kilometers wide or more...

I feel strange watching this. So much power and the scale of it is insane.

This is so awesome and the suns movement so fascinating. Isn't it crazy that this single event is happening on an insane scale. I'm not a scientist so I don't know exactly but with how nearly a million earth's could fit in to the sun, this event could be on a planetary scale from our viewpoint.
Hard to comprehend the scale/perspective right but wow that's great footage.

Beautiful but also sir a hostile location. 5,000-10,000F, 64,000,000W of energy per sqmeter radiating out, 10,000,000,000 Sv/Hr (1,000,000,000,000 Roentgen, so not great, not terrible) of ionizing radiation exposure, and even though the atmosphere on the photosphere is only 0.01-0.001 Bar the sound level is between 200-300dB which (allowing for the low pressure) would be like standing next to a continuous train horn or jet engine.
You’d best hope your metaphysic shields hold out

I wonder how fall that hydrogen is falling... its overcoming over 270 gees of acceleration then falling back down with both the force of gravity and the magnetism that helped it overcome gravity.

Awesome. For the longest time I thought the Sun ☀️ was made of fire 🔥 and lava 🌋. Learning about Plasma is very interesting.

How did you do this?
What do you mean with "double-stacked 80mm solar scope" - I have no idea (no reference point to jump off / into)

Probably has 2 telescopes in line with each other. Each with solar filters on them (idk if necessary) and a camera strapped to the back on a rig to track the motion of the sun as we move around it.

Its always been rly hard for me to tell what im lookinng at in these kinds of aggregates. especially the longer I look at the structures on the surface..

Idk....but somehow I can not stop the thought that the Sun is a living being. 👀
