[ad_1] Rather, they’re a mashup of bodies, bread and faces twisted grotesquely together and set in a nightmare tent.

[ad_1] The DKIST images show the highly energetic actions that move heat from inside the sun to its surface. The convection process forces solar plasma to the surface where it forms the bright cell centers, which may channel energy into the solar atmosphere. Those bright spots could heat the corona at up to a million […]
