"The central image is a three-color composite of the solar corona, observed with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (a NASA Small Explorer mission). This mosaic is made up of 3 exposures at each of 23 pointings; the green, blue, and red color tables in this ``true color'' image represent the 171Å (1 MK), 195Å (1.5 MK), and 284Å (2 MK) channels, respectively. The surrounding images are, clockwise starting from the top: SOHO/MDI magnetic map, white light, TRACE 1700A continuum,TRACE Lyman alpha, TRACE 171Å, TRACE 195Å, TRACE 284Å, YOHKOH/SXT X-ray image. The composite was prepared by Joe Covington (Lockheed-Martin Missiles and Space, Palo Alto)."

- Joe_rigby, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3So that's where the mask ended up.
- alpharaptor, on 08/10/2008, -0/+3it's the nexus
- maidenforce, on 08/10/2008, -1/+4lol..love it love it love it
- diggystardust, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2This is the best comment of the whole article
- Godlike, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2^^^one of the above actually IS a pussy. Nice comment ITG.
- OhTheHumanity1, on 08/10/2008, -1/+3What.... is that?
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2I enjoy numbers 2, 7, and 8.
Dugg for being thorough - rheaume, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2"Let's count the number of sunspots currently on Sol"
Wooohoo i see one! Oh crap thats a spot on my monitor
awesome posts btw - arcooke, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2Enough already..
- Gaffigan, on 08/10/2008, -0/+2Really interesting stuff, but something about the title is really off-putting.
It probably doesn't help that I first read it as "The Hugest, Hottest Grandma". - vroom101, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1It's a Solar Magnetic Arcade.
- diggydougie, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1It amazes me that we still have a sun. This happens all the time but the sun is still just as big.
- linksus, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1Now that is ***** cool!
- xekko, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1It's a solar flare. A very long, slinky-looking solar flare.
- scy1192, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1oooooh....
- swatward, on 08/10/2008, -3/+4Also my new wallpaper
- Godlike, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1It looks like the wormhole from a stargate.
- klitzbtc, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1It would just stop on the last step anyway.
- shto, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1It's a trap?

Description via http://trace.lmsal.com/POD/TRACEpodarchive24.html (trace.lmsal.com/POD/TRACEpodarchive24.html): The Transition Region and Coronal Explorer, TRACE, provides the highest-resolution images of the corona that are currently available (at 0.5 arcsecond pixels, or 1 arcsecond resolution). The instrument observed this filament eruption on September 30, 1998. The image, taken at 14:21:24 UT in the 171Å channel, shows a filament very early in its eruption, showing up dark against the backdrop of a arcade of loops; the big, dark filament is rising into interplanetary space with an increasing velocity that already exceeds 100 km/sec. These brightly glowing loops are the result of an earlier flare, cooling down from temperatures of several million degrees. As the loops cool, material drains from them, streaming back towards the solar surface under the influence of gravity. This is seen in this image as thin, dark strands of gas at approximately 10,000 degrees that absorbs the extreme ultraviolet emission from other, hotter gases behind them. This one image thus shows a range of temperatures that exceeds a factor of 100, with dark material both falling down and being thrust away from the Sun.

- mcclaytonrolls, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1that looks like someone busted a neon light and then lit a match...
- sdellboy, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1And that, ladies and gentleman, is put-down of the month....
Round of applause for Jimmick please. - RobotKeaton, on 08/11/2008, -0/+1Now somebody has to build a REALLY big set of stairs.
- sanosuke001, on 08/12/2008, -0/+0I was going to do the same thing... until I saw that the resolution sucked
- inactive, on 08/10/2008, -0/+0Looks like the graphic on an early-90's-style Trapper Keeper.
- requiem3, on 08/11/2008, -1/+0I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
- HyperJack, on 08/10/2008, -2/+1Has it really got to the point when we are now rating Slinkies?

- crestfall, on 08/10/2008, -15/+4Oh, once again, my sincerest apologies. My very white and suburban peripheral knowledge of early 90's hip-hop stereotypes was directed at a myspace post, and in no way reflects my feelings towards to OP of this thread, or the photo submitter.
- crestfall, on 08/10/2008, -15/+4WOOPS!
Thought I had the youtube tab selected... once again.
My sincerest apologies. -
