Fuck Yeah Fluid Dynamics

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this video of swirls of darker, cooler plasma caught between competing magnetic forces over the course of 30 hours. The plasma strands rotate like tornadoes caught on magnetic field lines. It sometimes feels incredible to observe such familiar-looking fluid behavior in such unfamiliar places, but it’s just a reminder that physics works no matter where you are.
