APOD 2.2


These are circling orbs are as wide as a state and as long as the Earth. And it is filled with hot gas moving at roughly 50,000 km per hour. And it is made of a transparent magnetic field. These are spindles on the Sun. Just some of thousands others on the Sun's surface. The main reason I picked this picture is because when it comes to picturing what the sun looks like, it is a very difficult task. I liked this picture because it shows just what exactly the sun's surface looks like-- it's not just yellow. It allows me to better understand what we are learning and better imagine it in my mind.
