The diameters of those vortexes are much larger than the earth.



Why does it appear that while the sun is rotating, the tornadic activity remains stationary?

I do have the ability to visualize what it looks like without the rotate and "zoom in" (enlarge ALL the pixels) effect. It went from cool telescope imagery to "America's Deadliest Police Chases" very quickly.

Can someone remix that with Benny Hill Yakkety Sax so I won't have nightmares now?

Stars are just freaking amazing. The most interesting class I took in college was on stellar physics. The shear magnitude of the forces involved and the chaotic balancing act that keeps them "stable" is really awe inspiring.

How can there be a tornado on the sun when there aren't any trailer parks? Aren't trailer parks the cause of tornadoes?

It is supposedly huge, yet it all fits on my computer monitor. Science is wonderous.

Sorry, the album's titled "Here Comes Science" though "Science is Real" is one of the other tracks.

Just go listen to it, for science!
