Comments on Enormous Ship Refuels From The Sun Video Update
That darned Death Star has to get its planet-busting energy from someplace. Now updated by NASA! (Read
the complete story)
| "Here's a great video of a solar prominence:
"This huge eruption of gas on the Sun was seen by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on April 19, 2010. The gas follows the Sun's magnetic field lines, bursting upwards and then raining back down. The scale of this is vast: the Earth could nestle comfortably under the arc of this prominence."" |
| "It's intriguing that the "prominence" in the "ship video" seems to be spherical, while all of the other photos of solar prominences show them to be arcs, like streams of water." ( 3/15/2012 12:03:50 PM) |
| "Take a look at the new video from a NASA scientist describing the phenomenon on the preceding page; he describes it as a coronal prominence cavity, or polar crown cavity." (Bill Christensen 3/15/2012 2:42:49 PM) |
| "But if you watch his video, at 2:00, the sun image he shows has an elf face clearly visible in the lower left corona.
Aliens living in the sun!" (duG 3/19/2012 11:55:17 AM) |
| "See this article on rare 'solar trilobites', along with more sf references to creatures living in the sun." (Bill Christensen 3/20/2012 5:21:09 AM) |
