NASA released some new close up footage of solar flares and holy moly 😳 it doesn't even look real! "NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory just released stunning close-range footage of solar flares, revealing the Sun as a maze of blazing plasma loops and chaotic magnetic fields. The new recording shows dark filaments slicing across bright, twisting arcs as massive bursts of energy erupt and reshape in real time. To put the scale in perspective: the Sun is about 1.39 million km wide, roughly 109 times the size of Earth. What looks like small sparks in the footage are actually structures larger than our entire planet. These visuals aren't just beautiful, they're a reminder of how powerful and unpredictable our nearest star truly is." - nasa
