I saw that video yesterday, it's fascinating.

All those cameras looking at the sun from with light spectrum, trying to pick it apart. It seems like the more you try to understand the sun, the more wild it becomes, like a tempest, hiding layers beneath layers. Images like that can never really capture the scale of the thing, but they still impart a sense of sheer force.

To me the Sun is like the Ocean. A powerful, enigmatic, beast that deserves respect, hiding deadly currents and secrets beneath the transient surface. Beautiful but kind of scary.
