With the false color image it looks like a plushy that you might find in a child's nursery (except that its light years across...)

Thanks for posting!

M.C. Slide to some astrophysical/geophysical day stuff (I also posted on another thread.)

Solar flare May 15 2025

Solar Activity, sun is very active. Some radio blackouts possible.

Sun news May 15: Explosive AR4087 firing on all cylinders (11 UTC to 11 UTC)

"Today’s top story: Solar activity is soaring thanks to powerhouse active region AR4087, now in a prime spot on the sun’s northeast limb (edge). After firing off an X-class flare yesterday, it kept the flares coming with two M-class eruptions, including an M7.7. That’s not far from the X flare threshold, which is the equivalent of an M10. This intense blast caused an R2 (moderate) radio blackout over the Mediterranean Sea. With AR4087 now fully in view, it’s showing a beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration, which is the most complex and therefore most volatile arrangement. Accordingly, forecasters have upped the flare forecast to a 75% chance of M-class flares and a 30% chance of X-class flares. Stay tuned! This solar beast is just getting started."

People should watch this one! Myanmar 7.7 earthquake.

Myanmar earthquake: Is this the first fault rupture on film?

Video record of the moment the earth slid along the fault line. The camera is within 20 or 30 yards of the fault and the "Jump" to the right is very perceptible. Do this full screen! Starts at the time of the earthquake.
