These pictures of the sun and other solar phenomena are both technically fascinating and gorgeous. Skip the comments section, though; it has religious wars, with creationists and other trolls.

Yeah, but the religious war started with an atheist troll down around comment #70, calling someone who said "praised God" a "pinhead" and an "idiot." Culture war trolling is culture war trolling; we ought to recognize it and discourage it.

OMG, those look sooo cool. The second one looks kind of like oil paint on glass. I might have to use one of these for a wallpaper for a while.
