Raining Fire

I ran across this video and thought it looked and sounded almost hypnotic. A solar flare erupts on the sun and follows magnetic field lines to create loops larger than the earth. As it cools, the superheated plasma rains down on the sun’s surface in a phenomenon known as coronal rain. The music is "Thunderbolt" by Lars Leonhard.

Best viewed full screen.
