Hot Hot Heat

Sometimes I have to hand it to those APOD hacks. Even if they are pompous frauds who think their privileged selection of photos makes the world go round, they occasionally dig up something excellent. True to form, today's installment is in no way a 'picture,' even though it is really cool. Rather, it is a time-lapse of the surface of the sun, shot in super-duper high definition. Amazingly, each one of those solar 'granules' is the size of an Earth continent. Much appreciation to the observers and those who assembled this stunning clip. Continuing derision to the posers who pointed it out. Way to link to the Wikipedia article for 'Sun' in your 'explanation by a professional astronomer,' APOD. Real professional.
