Surface of the Sun

This (to your left) is the most detailed image of the sun's "surface". 

This wasn't even taken by Hubble or Webb telescopes, but the Daniel Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawai'i.

It looks like peanut brittle or popcorn. However it is turbulent plasma cells, each cell being roughy the size of Texas. 

Allegedly (since I'm not an astronomer or astrophysicist) these plasma cells illustrate the convective process that transports heat from the Sun's interior to the "surface". 

Surface is in quotes because, regardless of my oft used impression of the Unknown Comic doing his impression of the first man on the Sun, it's surface is not solid. 

Like me though, it is mostly hot gas. Mainly hydrogen and helium. The Sun. Not me. Well, maybe the hydrogen part. 

It's nice to know science still exists. I'm constantly wondering if this is the case anymore. At least in the U.S.
