The Iron Sun
Swirls of red and green represent highly charged iron streaming from the sun’s upper atmosphere, captured by a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center astronomer during a total solar eclipse in 2008.
Ground-based eclipse pictures from 2006, 2008, and 2009 are offering some of the first images of iron-ion emissions from the solar corona. The images show that these emissions extend outward at distances equal to one and a half times the sun’s width. Pictures taken during solar eclipses can help scientists understand the solar corona, which affects potentially dangerous space weather.

![So very cool! I love what one can find when just stumbling around the internets.

If you roll a circle inside one 3 times its size, it will actually trace out a 4 pointed star shape called an Astroid (this shape is traced out in the animation in orange). But what if inside the smaller circle, there is an even smaller one tracing out a smaller Astroid? This animation shows the intricate shape that is generated by adding the effects of all the Astroids. [code] [also]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxggprahmL1qfg7o3o1_400.gif)
