apod 2.4


this is a picture of the jets and waves that are emitted from the sun. I think it is amazing that there is so much activity on one single planet and that space probes are able to take photographs of this activity. The description said that the jets and waves are created by magnetic reconnection events. Even though space travel is probably my greatest fear, i think it would be very cool to be able to see the sun from a closer distance and see some of the energtic activity on the sun from that close.
