Rain on the sun

Check out this coronal mass ejection (solar flare) erupting with unfathomable force and being forced to travel along the sun's invisible magnetic fields.

Mind blown.

The video called it the surface of the SUn. That is quite subjective as the movie was shot of the chromosphere in Hydrogen Alpha light. Traditionally, the "surface" of the Sun is the photosphere, which is below the chromosphere.
