Super Solar Magnetic Vortex Recorded
This is a gigantic solar flare in the sun's chromosphere recorded by JAXA's Hinode spacecraft. Almost as big as the Earth, it begins as a magnetic vortex before spewing out as a solar flare. Watch the movie here http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/solar-b/videos07-031.html
