In this captivating video, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) unveils the awe-inspiring sight of plasma rain cascading across the Sun’s surface. Captured over a nine-hour period, this extraordinary phenomenon shows streams of charged particles, larger than Earth itself, falling back to the solar surface in glowing arcs. Plasma rain, formed as superheated solar material cools and condenses, follows the magnetic loops on the Sun’s surface, creating an otherworldly spectacle. This recording highlights the Sun’s dynamic nature and gives us an unprecedented view of one of our closest star’s breathtaking events.
