Vacation Announcement
I will be on vacation from June 2nd through June 9th.
If anyone would like to volunteer to post APOD during that time, please FReepmail me.
Otherwise the APOD will not be posted as I will be visiting relatives in California.
Go to the SOHO Exploring the Sun webpage and click on the graphic in the upper left corner titled "The Sun Now". This will bring up a page listing all near-real-time images. Enjoy!
Here is an active area of the Sun; the magnetic field causes hot gases to be suspended in loops. This dramatic image is courtesy of the TRACE satellite.

I still don't get how the sun can burn for so many billions of years.
