That, Uh, That Looks Like Hell: More Eye Candy From The Solar Dynamics Observatory
Remember last week's crazy-ass sun picture and video? Well here come some more shots from the recently launched NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory. Just look at that! Amazing, isn't it? So majestic. So powerful. I mean, that's our sun right there -- tooting flames. God what I'd give to smell that.
UPDATE: Added amazingly amazing very worthwhile hot hot hot video after the jump.
Hit the jump for five more taken with different techniques, along with a link to the National Geographic article that explains what's happening in each one.

Thanks to Mister Fancyer, who may or may not be the mogul behind the Cat Fancy empire (I suspect he is). Can you get me a free cat-tree?
