NASA releases stunning video of sun in magnetic field

2017-04-26 3

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center released a video showing how sun behaves in its magnetic field. The video shows otherwise invisible lines and the sun appears as a mass of noodle-like energy; in constant flux; pulsating and sending out bursts of magnetically-charged star-stuff. The Sun's magnetic field is responsible for everything from the solar explosions that cause space weather on the Earth to the interplanetary magnetic field and radiation through which our spacecraft journeying around the solar system must travel.
