This is very cool
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pr...ew_images_show/ QUOTE Physicists, led by a researcher at the University of Warwick, studying new images of clouds of material exploding from the Sun have spotted instabilities forming in that exploding cloud that are similar to those seen in clouds in Earth’s atmosphere.
