NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recently shared a fascinating timelapse video of a tornado on the Sun’s surface. It swirled across the star’s north pole, prompting astrophotographers to turn their telescopes and cameras towards the Sun.

While I find it soothing on the one hand, on the other, watching massive waves crash against a pear or a beach makes me feel humbled in front of nature’s force and power.
