Aren't these pictures awesome: Look at the filamentation and what appears to be twisting, vortices as well. Electrification at its simplest forms.

Non-sense. Those are gas clouds held aloft by convection.

Thanks for the chuckle earl...


I was hoping that with a star so close by, some of the greater minds that be might spend their time and effort studying our "electric sun". Instead of gazing galaxies away.


I was also hoping we could get some more of these images that so clearly demonstrate the electrical nature of the sun.

thanks
