Solar Nexus
In this image there there is aot of twisting and snaking of magnetically intertwined plasma. The mesmerizing swirls of superheated gas in this image may induce a feeling of serenity, but this is far from a quiet scene for our star, the Sun. The dark strands, called filaments, that we see in this image more than likely have a ferocious destiny ahead. The magnetic chaperones that keep the filaments in place will eventually break down, unravelling to violently fling the stellar material off into space as a solar storm.
