Almost Half the Sun Covered By a Huge Black Spot!

so wtf does this mean????

It means get ready for some serious coronal flow towards us...........

Intent is obvious, But. We are dealing with colouration in that particular spectrum and of course they are not black, but slightly shaded not black.

It means you have no idea what you are looking at.

looks normal

BUMP!


Things that make me wonder.... If the sun is supposed to be a fireball, then does that mean it is being fed a constant source of oxygen? And if so, what made that oxygen? For it to flare like that, wouldn't that then mean that the sun is getting bursts of oxygen to burn off?

Now then, if the sun is an electric sun like many people suggest, then wouldn't the bursts from the sun have a more electric look to it, like you see in those novelty electric balls?

The bursts from the sun look more like how water would flow than fire or electricity? Maybe lava like flow? Could everyone be wrong about the sun. Fire would spark and flare outwards in many directions, not circular even flowing bursts! Same goes with electricity. These are very violent elements (fire and electricity) Could it be a combination of fire/electricity/lava/water/wind(oxygen) all rolled into one?

Just thought I'd give you guys something else to think about!

Normal? I've never seen it look like that in the five years I've been coming here. Never.

Holy Moly. Hope that's just a weird camera malfunction or something.

WTF?

Wow…..read much?

nuclear fusion

Something will happen.

It is not simply that one wavelength (that image in OP is just the wavelength where it is most visible), look at all of the images and you will see what I believe is called a 'coronal hole' covering most of the side of the sun which is facing us. So far in my 6 months or so of watching the sun daily I have not seen one this large. You can also see a quite spectacular sunspot coming into view on the upper left side. Probably no doom, just fun to look at and watch.

The sun is not nuclear...best description, Electrical...oh, and it isn't hot--well sometimes.

you are an idiot op

really? lol


You better not look at the green ones.. or the blue ones.. you'll piss your knickers!

^ this.... lol

fuckit nevermind

also, when you view the sun it acts really strange even without all these dark spots on it.

If you think in 4d we spiral through the galaxy trailing the sun with the rest of the planets. So the sun is roaring through space at unimaginable speeds.

I know that when I throw a tennis ball of fire (Fun stuff) the fire trails the ball like this <O Now if we are following the sun through space and the sun is fire....then why does it not show this trail at all times? Is it just the vacuum of space keeping it all uniform and centered like this (O)

And if that is true, then what is feeding this giant fireball this oxygen? Also, why does the sun behave in this way? Shouldn't a fireball act like a tennis ball on fire being thrown?


That leads me to believe that the sun is not a fireball like they say! Now an Electric sun would act more like this! Then again, you would not see such a "flowing" of sunbursts like we are seeing in these pictures! Therefor the sun can not be purely electric in nature, can it? Even with the supposed massive gravity, and vacuum of space!

Hmmmmm. Anyone?

Holy shit thats the biggest coronial hole Ive ever seen. We are in for some serious trouble folks

god I love GLP..... wow

Absolutely - NO idea.

And did you know -- the Moon is in the wrong place!!

Just a shitload of solar wind streaming at us along the magnetic field lines exposed by the hole, that is all. Our magnetic field should deal with it just fine.

No, no and NO.

Oh stop it. That's the way it looks from that camera.

If you've never seen it look like that, you're not paying attention.

Fucking half-brain-dead drop-outs, jeeze!!!

What?

Depends which way the Bz is pointing, Pointing North T7 now, was South earlier today.

Dear GOD will you please read something besides comic books!! Did you sleep through everything????

My desktop image and screensaver are up to date images downloaded from the SOHO site every 30 minutes, I set this up about 6 to 8 months ago, and watch the sun closely. In this time I have not seen a dark area this large. Maybe you can provide some older images showing and area this large??? I am not claiming any doom here, as the sun is reaching solar maximum it should be expected that situations like this will occur.

its just energy
like those fake logs that produce flames its not hot go ahead touch it.
