I'm guessing this is the site where TD obtained the vid he shows during 'Windpower'. Click here for Windpower video

Mpg of our sun Oct 22-25 2006 - one pix per approx every 12 or 13 minutes. This recently made film shows, what appears to be a quiet sun- that's a good thing right ? Enjoy !

Looks like a giant ball of Kryptonite! I'm glad we're as far from it as we are!

Yes, this will add some great information for science and a future enhanced TD show- which I think, is the reason we sent the two spacecraft up in the first place ...

I was just thinking (uh oh, watch out):

If we had evolved with monocular vision, would we understand the concept of stereo vision/3-D? Or, what if our eyes could see the entire E/M spectrum and have the light gathering ability of long photographic exposures (like telescopes imaging distant dark star fields and reveling (revealing?) sights not humanly possible)?

I guess our perception of the world would be much different. What other realities exist beyond our (current) physical abilities to detect those realities?

Here in England (where it's so green) ... we have a yellow sun.



What's wrong with your one?

hehe... Here in the high plains desert of Denver, we have that green sun (pictured above) and yellow dirt

You mean to say it's not a paper sun?

Gosh

Nice image, wish I'd seen the gig

Maybe next year!

Or will some of the stuff be on the next release?

I don't know for certain but I'd be very surprised if the Green Sun did not appear on his Windpower song - DVD release Nov 21.. Did you see his Windpower teaser vid - really good that!

"For a moment, planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Mercury all posed near their parent star in this Sun-centered view, recorded on November 11 [2006]. The picture, from a coronograph onboard the space-based SOlar Heliospheric Observatory, spans 15 degrees with the Sun's size and position indicated by the white circle. Background stars are also visible as the otherwise overwhelming sunlight is blocked by the coronograph's occulting disk. But the planets themselves, in particular Jupiter and Venus, are still bright enough to cause significant horizontal streaks in the image. Mercury is actually moving most rapidly (left to right) through the field and days earlier was seen to cross in front of the solar disk. So what's that bright double star to the left of Mars? Zubenelgenubi, of course."

This takes a little while to load but beautiful.

I made a little video of the sun in different wavelengths from SOHO images recorded in late Oct and early Nov 2008.

as Paris Hilton says, "thats hot..." -thanks Michael

... what if our eyes could ... have the light gathering ability of long photographic exposures (like telescopes imaging distant dark star fields and revealing sights not humanly possible)?

...then you might see a teenage couple staring at each other in the dark for, like, 9 hours - oh wait, you can see that at any Starbuck's!
