Tsunami on the Sun !?

Enormous shock wave rolled through Sun (during sun spot min) - and quickly propagate ( in a minutes) covering the whole Sun.
The white area is hot gas where large flare blew off - and a shock wave occur.

It is so impressive.

I am interested - does anybody have some dipper knowledge about 'Sun- Tsunamis?

Interesting. I am not a reliable source when it comes to info about the sun, but I like what you've found. Plasma tsumani. Cool.

Moreton waves are shock waves, much like those observed in a nuclear blast. A Tsunami is a surface gravity wave that is formed as the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity and radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond. While the two may look similar, their cause and action are different.

On the Sun, nuclear fusion generates energy and occasionaly there are disruptions that create uneven pressure. When these areas erupt with sufficient force, Moreton waves can be observed. They are associated with large solar flares on the Sun’s chromosphere, creating a shock wave that expands outward at about 1,000 km/s. It usually appears as a slowly moving diffuse arc of brightening in H-alpha, and may travel for several hundred thousand km. Moreton waves are always accompanied by meter-wave radio bursts; they are named after the American solar astronomer Gail Moreton.

Excellent post Terapin. That explains a lot.

Things emanate from the sun, but does anything ever return to the sun?

The Sun is a huge gravity well and things fall into it all the time. Solar flares fall back into the sun. Meteors, asteroids and other objects fall into the sun on a regular basis. Given enough time, just about everything in our solar system will eventualy fall into the sun.

Man that footage is impressive, I've no idea the length of time between the frames, but that thing must of moved at something like at least mach 10 - 7,500 mph+!! I don't know, just guessing.

Looked like a sun fart.
Cool vid though, maybe that's the cause of global warming?
I still have a hard time imagining the size of our sun. Here's a cool video of just how small we are.

The sun will be nearing solar max over the next few years - part of it's 11 year cycle. I have often wondered if that is the cause for the increase in heat on this planet - and on Mars, too!

I believe it is majik. I think it goes through the cycles you were talking about and changes all the time. Sun gets hotter we get hotter. Sun cools off we cool off. That's just my opinion.

You guys didnt notice when our temperature went up 300 degrees for one second?? jk but in all seriousness, does something like this effect our climate?

e = m c^2
If I'm reading this right
:.
"The Sun" = a ball of mass spinning at the speed of light in a vaccum?


If this is true. Can we create a mechanical object that can spin at this speed and turn into a ball of power like the sun.

Nice find

Here is some more how about Antares!?!?

Just look at time frame on photos: / 'Numbers indicate the date and time in Universal Time'/ It was rolling at cca 700,000 miles per hour!!!

"These large scale 'blast' waves occur infrequently, however, are very powerful," said K. S. Balasubramaniam of the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Sunspot, NM, "They quickly propagate in a matter of minutes covering the whole Sun, sweeping away filamentary material.

In fact our Sun is spinning relatively slow ( like most others) - once in 30 days....while egg shaped Regulus (5x diameter of our Sun) complete it's rotation in 15.9 hours!

www.universetodaycomplite... it's rotation in 15.9 hours

Or Altair- rotate about its axes in 10.4 hours!!! And it is also deformed ( not nicely round like our Sun) because of fast spinning - 14% 'fatter' at the equator than at the poles.

ps
only photon ( with no mass) have these speed /in a vacuum/

Terapin - quite the contrary : sun proton flares have almost light velocity and ejected mass never return!

Some observation from Electric Sun theorist:

- The solar wind is the result of the asymmetric thermal motion of the electrons in the Sun. A random flight outwards brings the electron in a colder proximity, therefore, the return into the original position is improbable i.e. the electrons drift outwards.

- Also the neutrinos from the solar core push the electrons outwards, never inwards.

- Moreover, solar photons push the electrons stronger outwards than inwards.

- The result is that the solar surface will be basically negative, the solar core positive.

- The negative charge continually explodes electrically in the photosphere as solar wind which never stops. Its high velocity of typically 750km/s would need 24million Kelvin to be emitted thermally! But the solar surface is only 6000K hot.

- 11-yearly, positively charged matter appears on the solar surface (as " footpoints "). Its concentrated charge overbalances the electrons and emits itself into the space as positive filaments, corona, flares, mass ejections . This positive matter contains ions and no mysterious heating produces these ions. The corona is not heated! An emitted filament contains the same e.g.


• The high velocity of matter in the filament of e.g. 1500km/s would need 96million Kelvin to be emitted thermally.

• The emitted positive and negative matter forms filaments via pinch effect. No mysterious "magnetic tubes" are necessary.

Where are neutrinos is Sun is powered by thermonuclear reaction (there must be a river of neutrinos!?) - but scientist couldn't find them in quantity required for thermon. theory.

Look at this solar prominence making loops:
