Flux Ropes on the Sun
NASA IOTD | 2013 Feb 15
This is an image of magnetic loops on the sun, captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). It has been processed to highlight the edges of each loop to make the structure more clear.
A series of loops such as this is known as a flux rope, and these lie at the heart of eruptions on the sun known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs.) This is the first time scientists were able to discern the timing of a flux rope’s formation. (Blended 131 Angstrom and 171 Angstrom images of July 19, 2012 flare and CME.)

Oh yeah, the fact that you can still see his expression in spite of the spray, that's amazing!

No, it's me.
Interesting, the comparison between the two almost makes the top one seem a bit insincere.
