The most stunning Hinode video:

here










Japanese satellite HINODE - which “orbits the Earth in a permanent twilight zone between night and day, which gives it a continuous view of the Sun“ , (( launched September 2006: to study the solar magnetic field) send unbelievable images ((done by solar X- ray telescope & ultraviolet spectrometer )) of Suns outer limb:


Where astronomers expected to see a calm region called the chromosphere, they saw a seething mass of swaying spikes ......These structures are 8000 kilometres long and some extend twice that high...



“Their speed is such that if you sat on the end of one, which I don't recommend, you could travel from Washington, DC, to San Francisco in about four minutes. These things are really moving."


The thing that scientis are puzzles is : magnetic loops are collapsing onto Sun - instead continue blowing into Space!?
