Title: Something truly jaw droppingly awesome...
Post by: Highlander on May 04, 2013, 11:47:03 AM
... or you just have no soul...

NASA has a beastie up there called the SDO, the Solar Dynamics Observatory - it has been taking photos of the sun consistently for the last three years - they have just released a composite image video showing an image of the sun taken twice a day, so you can clearly see the 25 day rotation period and all the significant events - 4 minute run time, with music, and it's downloadable...

 Here comes the sun...  (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sdo/news/first-light-3rd.html)

That's amazing. In light of Jeff Hanneman's death, I wish it were set to Raining Blood, however.

Easy fix - play it with the sound down and run (raining blood) on your sound system
