That. is. amazing.
I've taken a bunch of screenshots of live video feed from the ISS, both in the sense of taking a picture, and to use as desktop backgrounds. I just did the same with this video.
Absolutely incredible to think that we're seeing the outwardly visible (visible to our instrumentation) form of our local creator - the designer of the planet, architect of the blueprint of our minds, our chemical vehicles, our basic catalyst, and the source of biological life, around whose powerful gravity Earth is inescapably bound.
Shame that the video cannot convey the scale of the sun relative to the Earth and other planets. Though even the best diagrams can only give a wondrous hint of how truly enormous the sun body is relative to its solar system.
I enjoyed seeing all the detailed movements of (electromagnetic?) activity happening on the surface, and the bright prominences and explosive arcs of of light.
Thanks for sharing.
