quote [ Shooting a million miles or more out into the hard, cold vacuum of space, this fiery halo is one of the wonders of the universe.
Whipped into gigantic swirls by the Sun's ferocious magnetic fields, the shell of super-hot gas is as beautiful as it is dangerous. It's called a corona and can't normally be seen because of the brightness of the Sun, a broiling sea of hydrogen gas at 10,000c. But during a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks out the Sun and the corona is revealed. ] Awesome!!!

My dad used to inject air into herring and toss them in the ocean. They'd bob at the surface and eagles would swoop down to grab them, often within a few yards of our boat. Apparently, that's not strictly legal, but it was cool as fuck. |
