What captured this video?
nm, found it in the BoingBoing comments
Thanks for taking the time to find the video. It was beautiful.
Heavy stuff,..well, I guess we aren’t planning to colonize The Sun
Huh, folks, is there a version for grown-ups without stupid soundtrack?
The sound track appears on the NASA webpage. So, go figure.
I know the picture from the other side of the sun is a fake. It’s not dark
I wish there would be an indication of the time scale. Anyone have any idea?
If these CME continue we’re going to have serious problems here.
That’s pretty cool stuff. We came a long way as far as cameras are concerned.
I didn’t find the sound track annoying at all.
As far as CME causing problems goes. Well let her rip. Should knock a few people off their high horse. Hahaha.
