The Sun In Extreme Closeup
    #7628509 - 11/12/07 11:43 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Explanation: This stunning image shows remarkable and mysterious details near the dark central region of a planet-sized sunspot in one of the sharpest views ever of the surface of the Sun. Just released, the picture was made using the Swedish Solar Telescope now in its first year of operation on the Canary Island of La Palma. Along with features described as hairs and canals are dark cores visible within the bright filaments that extend into the sunspot, representing previously unknown and unexplored solar phenomena. The filaments' newly revealed dark cores are seen to be thousands of kilometers long but only about 100 kilometers wide. Resolving features 100 kilometers wide or less is a milestone in solar astronomy and has been achieved here using sophisticated adaptive optics, digital image stacking, and processing techniques to counter the blurring effect of Earth's atmosphere. At optical wavelengths, these images are sharper than even current space-based solar observatories can produce. Recorded on 15 July 2002, the sunspot shown is the largest of the group of sunspots cataloged as solar active region AR 10030.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

The human mind is conditioned to recognize familiar objects in abstract images. Thats how all the Jesus toast/virgin Mary underpass images come to be.

> The human mind is conditioned to recognize familiar objects in abstract images.

There is some very interesting research into prenatal learning that seems to indicate that periodic brain waves in developing fetus' are training the developing brain to recognize basic human facial features (spacial relationship between eyes, nose, and mouth).

Very nice picture, Diploid. It amazes me how differently 'fluids' behave when under pressure.

BTW, that sunspot is about the size of the Earth. Even though it's black in the photograph, that's a result of the overwhelming contrast of the surrounding area. Sunspots are brighter than the brightest artificial lights.
