OVER THE HORIZON: Something bright and active on the far side of the sun is about to turn toward Earth. Magnetic loops towering over the eastern limb herald its approach:
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory took this picture during the early hours of July 26th. The bright glow revealed by SDO's extreme ultraviolet camera comes from million-degree plasma trapped by overlying magnetic fields. A sunspot is likely at the bottom of it all.
Or maybe two sunspots... NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is stationed over the sun's eastern limb, and it sees a pair of active regions approaching single file. The one peeking over the limb now is actually the smaller of the two. Readers with solar telescopes should train their optics here.

The sun is just an ordinary star. Like the bright little dots that twinkle at night. How powerful can THEY be?There is nothing ordinary about stars...
Our star could vaporize our entire planet like a small bead of water dropped in a hot pan, if we were close enough.

Pure neutronium. Absolutely pure!
