#2 Asrtronomers nowadays remind me of Democrats. Lots of conclusions that are based on unsupported conjectures.

Carl Sagan:

"There is nevertheless a nagging suspicion among some astronomers, that all may not be right with the deduction, from the redshift of galaxies via the Doppler effect, that the universe is expanding. The astronomer Halton Arp has found enigmatic and disturbing cases where a galaxy and a quasar, or a pair of galaxies, that are in apparent physical association have very different redshifts...."

"If Arp is right, the exotic mechanisms proposed to explain the energy source of distant quasarssupernova chain reactions, supermassive black holes and the likewould prove unnecessary. Quasars need not then be very distant. But some other exotic mechanism will be required to explain the redshift. In either case, something very strange is going on in the depths of space."

These pinwheels are not anything special either. It is the same pattern that spiral galaxies follow, but scaled down. And without Darkwing Duck, or the dark matter for that matter. Patterns that you can produce in a plasma physics lab. As above, so below.

Bellow are closeups of sunspots. Tell me, what do you see?

#4 #2: "what do you see?"

Aaahhheeeeeeee!

They're watching us!

#5 Barb, who's watching you? ;-)

Just a hint... see the dark area in the middle of spots? That is the Sun's surface, called photosphere. The deepest observable surface of the Sun yields a temperature of about 6,000 degrees Kelvin. As one peers into the darker interior of sunspots we see cooler regions, not hotter. But moving outward to the bottom of the corona, the temperature jumps spectacularly to almost 2 million degrees. Thus, the superheated shell of the Suns corona reverses the expected temperature gradient predicted by models of internal nuclear heating.
