@@Dede_crystal No don’t worry, every year around august 10th, we are passing through the cosmic dust of that comet, so next year you will get a chance to see them by yourself 🙂. In the meantime this video is also here for all those who couldn’t observe them, because of light pollution, clouds or just time

@@Kneegrow-mj4he I wouldn’t put it like that. Yes earth is pretty much a spaceship traveling at high speed in our solar system, itself traveling at high speed in our galaxy, and our galaxy also traveling at high speed in the cosmos. So a lot of movements ! And yes, earth core has gathered through gravitational and centrifugal forces some heavy metals, including nickel and iron which are liquid under these temperatures / pressures and rotate, hence creating magnetic fields (see geodynamo model), that do protect earth from radiations. It does work a little bit like force fields but impacts/deviates mostly energized particles In the case of meteors, it’s mostly the speed and friction through various layers of atmosphere that create extreme heat (like seen on our space return flights) and disintegrate those stellar rocks in a beautiful lightshow My opinion is that earth has been here long before us and will remain long after us. However all things evolve. Mars was once habitable and is not anymore. The redspot of jupiter has been for 200 years but may very well disappear in our century. Things change and the only question for mankind is if we will be able to adapt to those changes - and also stop fighting each other for meaningless and transient artificial borders. For the moment, we are pretty much alone out here so we should care and protect each other

It is : you can imagine the sun as a hot ball of plasma / gaz that is maintained together by gravity, not unlike jupiter and saturn which are also gaz planet. The differences are the temperature and size ! One of the "cool" aspect of the sun that we yet don't fully grasp is its magnetic fields. In fact, the change is changing magnetic poles every 11 years, hence these solar cycles and when at maximum - like now -, there are a lot of active magnetic regions.. When the magnetic fields break, that's a solar flare and a coronal mass ejection

That's a "cool" fact 😅

It was the Europa moon of Jupiter ! I had specially planned this session to capture its transit :)

The color is actually artificial. When capturing the sun, we use monochrome camera to get the highest resolution and as the sun is mostly white. You can check my black & white video in normal contrast to see exactly how the sun appears

@@astrodysseus я про то что ученные предпологают и уже доказывают что солнце не желтое а бледное

I have been doing astronomy for quite some time, but looking at the sun and its dynamic is an incredible and unending experience. With time, one get familiar with some of its behaviors, but the same remain mostly unpredictable

А ведь было начало из ничего, из пустоты. Выходит, есть какая-то Сила, сотворившая великолепие Вселенной из ничего.

Indeed, we are at the maximum of solar activity, maybe for a year or so. Still plenty to see. Interestingly, this peak of activity is related to a change of polarity in the sun (north and south magnetic being inverted); sun spots and solar flares are "brutal" reactions to compensate that rapid shift of polarity

Чудесно только солнце бледного цвета

it does, however notice this is in inverted contrast, so in reality, the dark spots are very brights and are the surge of eruptions :)

Hi there, unfortunately not possible as i am traveling until august 4th and i only have my solar scope with me !

If your question is what it is, you are looking at solar eruptions from the sun, filtered in hydrogen alpha. The sun is roughly the same size as the moon, so you don't need large and heavy equipment to observe it, however you absolutely need a solar filter - in my case a hydrogen alpha filter

I am traveling with only a small solar telescope, but happy to post a closeup video of the moon around August 10-15th depending of the weather :) In the meantime, I will check if I happen to have a past recording I could share sooner. On instagram, I did posted this one a while back : instagram.com/p/CwTkM6CttUX/

I don't advertise and am rather discreet ;) Also I only started sharing more recently But the sun is pretty interesting to observe this year as it is at the peak of its 11 years cycle activity. That's why we can observe so many eruptions/prominences and sunspots.. and that's also why we have some very nice auroras happening Yesterday night, we had a X1 solar flare (they are categorized in C for small, M for medium and X for large), so we should have an auroras in the next few hours.. !

​@@astrodysseuscool❤ try capturing it frequently 😊

I have to admit that at a time where you can get a 200$ telescope and see for yourself planetary rotations (e.g. jupiter makes a full rotation in 10h so in 15mn you start seeing it), flat earthers aren't really serious.. As for the sun activity, yes we are at the peak of its 11 years cycle, hence a lot of nice sunspots to observe and the increased chance to observe auroras :)

With friends we also joke about it as crepe, lemon, orange, petri dish or blini ;)

Ahah, I heard that one before, "hairy" as well ;) . This impression comes from the spicules, that are small but fast and shortlived jets of plasma all over the sun.

Sorry to disappoint but it is quite real :) You can take any lens or telescope, put a solar filter on it (it's essential, no joke on that or you can burn your retina) and you will be able to see the sunspots by yourself. We are at the peak of activity of our sun, it's an 11 years cycle and whenever a sunspot erupts and is facing us, that's when and why we get to see those nice auroras :) . The astronomer community is also always reachable on various forums, including here : www.cloudynights.com/forum/87-solar-observing-and-imaging/ . Everything that we do is detailed and reproducible.

and imagine I am only using an average size scope (76mm aperture, 1.5kg). 150mm scope are easy to find and some people image the sun up to 250-300mm aperture. In reality, the sun is so big and so close in comparison to other celestial bodies, that we can really see a lot of details and even nice dynamics ! in deepsky astrophotography, everything is fairly static. The second most dynamical object to observe in the sky is Jupiter IMO. In 10h, the planet does one full rotation so in 15mn observation, you start seeing it :)

It is very far from thermonuclear explosion.

I am fascinated by our sky, both the night sky with its nebulae, galaxies and planets, but also the sun. This year, the sun is at the peak of its activity, that's why we can observe so many solar flares and sunspots. I love these dynamics that are otherwise very difficult to capture on other celestial bodies

Check what it says since the color is removed in its way contrast inverted.

@@shauljonah6955 That is correct. I did not have the time yet to post the timelapse in normal contrast for this one. To illustrate the difference, here is: - one in normal contrast: kzbin.info7NpWX4i-p0c - one in inverted contrast: kzbin.infoPAVP03Jp0Ug

You should check what is feasible today with the proper equipment :) www.cloudynights.com/forum/87-solar-observing-and-imaging/

It's a closeup of our Sun captured in Hydrogen Alpha and in inverted contrast. The goal is to see the active region (or sunspots) and image how they evolve and when they erupt in solar flares

Unsure with the translation but I am gonna try to answer : the surface of the sun is roughly 10 000 degrees and the core roughly 27 million derees. When the sun is active (like now, we are at the peak of 11 years cycle), prominences become quite common and they randomly eject materials from the core heated up at a few million degrees. That's very hot. In comparison, even our best materials have difficulty to sustain the 3000° temperature during atmospheric re-entry. So based on what we know, it is difficult to imagine any world/intelligence living there. But imagination is still fascinating and we don't know everything. Known thermophiles can for instance live at 122° while some other extremophile can sustain and use 99 atmospheres (pressure). Tardigrades can also survive in space at -272° and while being exposed to deadly radiations. The extent of what biology / natural evolution is capable of designing isn't totally understood. Yet the main danger would be those solar flares / prominences. I don't believe anything could resist flash burst of million degrees.

Hum I don't have a timelapse of Saturn as Saturn has less details than Jupiter, except during megastorms, every 20-30years. But if you like planetary imaging, I highly recommend Damien Peach, he is one of the best. Here is one of the video he took of Saturn : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXKpIaHg6lnb8U

@@astrodysseus thanks!

It is ! I fell in love with the sun as it's very dynamic and close enough to really observe all those phenomena

​@@astrodysseusа что это происходит на видео ?

@@Yar13miN The sun is currently at the peak of its 11 years activity. During that time, strong and complex magnetic fields give rise to active regions, colder than the rest of the surface and therefore appearing dark in normal contrast, or white in inverted contrast like here. The big difference of temperature and magnetism in those active regions (AR) create solar flares, those large prominences that erupt and twirl above the sun, like the one we see here. Quite often, sun material are even ejected at high speed; when this material is ejected towards us, that's what causes the auroras on earth :)

​@@astrodysseusthanks 😊
