Looks hot.
It is.
Earth-Sun distance = 150 million kilometers
Sun radius = 695800 kilometers
Energy per square meter at Earth radius = 1.361 kwatt/square meter
Given that energy distribution doubles as the radius is halved and the ratio between the sun's radius and the earth/sun orbital radius is close to 218, that means the energy level doubles at least seven times is 1.361 x 218 = over 290 kilowatts/square meter!!! That's more intense than a full raging forest fire.

Amazing video.
Why haven't we looked at Earth in the same manner to try and map our own magnetic fields? Seems like we would have a lot of untapped free energy...Never mind, I just answered my own question.

It is so amazing to see this images of the Sun!! In a way it is also so scary to see how this thing lives!!! For most people the sun is just a big ball of fire that gives us light, but watching this video, another image is created!! Just watch this and you will see!
NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) has been studying the sun since 2010, generating about 1.5 terabytes of data every day. The goal of the mission is to understand how the Sun's powerful magnetic field is generated, maintained, and how the stored magnetic energy is converted into solar winds and other high-energy particles that influence the rest of the solar system, including Earth.
The video below shows a summary of the beautiful visuals that SDO has captured in the past 5 years!
