It rains on the Sun. The loops are plasma falling back toward the surface after an eruption. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this on July 19, 2012. The plasma traces magnetic field lines as it cools and condenses. This is extreme-ultraviolet observation, mapped into visible color and shown as a time-lapse, not real-time footage or a simulation. Visuals: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio, the SDO Science Team, and the Virtual Solar Observatory. Source visualization by Tom Bridgman. Excerpted, cropped to the active region, accelerated 3× relative to the source video, with text and a blurred footage backdrop added. Source audio removed. This edit shows about 6 hours 36 minutes of observations in 22 seconds. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4026/ NASA media use guidelines: https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-brand-center/images-and-media/ No NASA endorsement implied.

Webb’s March 2025 view of HH 49/50 shows material heated by a young star’s jet. The outflow is about 630 light-years away; the spiral galaxy is much farther behind it. They only look connected from our viewpoint. Real infrared observations mapped into visible colors. ESA’s camera pan moves across the image; this is not real-time motion in space.

Still worth a closer look. ✨ This is Messier 30, a dense star cluster in Capricornus. Hubble released this view on November 5, combining ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared observations.
