APOD 4.3

Sunspot Loops in Ultraviolet
2011 April 10

This picture is a pretty good illustration of how violent our Sun is.  Imagining all of the activity that is occuring on our Sun right now is awesome.  This picture beautifully depicts the extraordinarily hot sunspots on the sun.  It is said to be over one million degrees Celsius.  This number means nothing to me.  I can't even imagine what that means but whatever it means, it's fascinating.
