New, incredibly detailed images AND MOVIES of the surface of the sun!

The site’s respnse is slow - it must be very busy (not too surprising). This caused some problems. Some movies would load, but the QT plugin wouldn’t start. I finally had to copy the loaded movies from my IE temporary files folder and view them with the standalone QT.
But they were worth the trouble!
Nice website, Thanks!

Wow. I now have a brand new wallpaper for my desktop.
If I stare at these images too long, will I go blind?

dantheman Yes, if you masturbate to the images you will go blind, develop dementia, and develop hairy palms.
My first thought as well, Ogre . The very first one of the big yellow ball is really impressive. You almost wouldn’t guess it’s the sun at all.
Thanks for the link, row .
