Not a whole lot to say about this video, it’s just incredibly cool. It shows in an animated/CGI way how magnetic field lines act (for example on the sun). It’s not your normal boring/dry NASA material, it’s incredibly cool and mesmerizing.
This youtube video is a quick 1.5 minute clip from the movie, check out the full movie (~5min) here. The movie was made by NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory, and they provide the commentary as well.
Thanks to Zac for tipping me and letting me know about this! Originally saw this at Gizmodo.
I’ve watched the video about 10 times and can’t stop watching it… I’ve always tried to imagine the engineering possibilities if we could directly see magnetic lines.
