This Is Real Footage of the Sun’s Surface (Incredible!)

See the Sun Like Never Before! Did you know that we can actually look at the Sun's surface, the layer where light escapes into space after thousands of years bouncing around inside? Also known as the photosphere, this bizarre, bubbling layer holds many mysteries, but we can see it in all its chaotic glory!

[@Mika-ph6ku]

The most fascinating thing about stars to me is just how incomprehensibly large they are. The sun already dwarfs the earth so much that the earth would appear as a mere speck when placed alongside it, and the sun is only average in size when compared to the rest of the observable stellar community. The largest stars that have been observed dwarf the sun to the point of being barely visible when again placed alongside them, which means that comparing the size of the earth to the size of these hyper giant stars would be like comparing the size of an individual atom to an elephant!
