Hypnotic 4K Video Shows the Sun Rotating Over the Course of a Month

From Seán Doran:

78,846 frames of ångström-171 data from Solar Dynamics Observatory were repaired, processed & rescaled to create the film, which is the month of August from 2014.

These frames amount to 22 minutes of footage at 60 frames per second. The opposite limb of the Sun is shown in the second half of the film.

A Scientifically Accurate Demonstration of the Death Star [Video]

The Death Star, as seen in the original Star Wars trilogy, has nothing to do with how laser weapon actually work. Here is a short 35-second video showing the space station firing on a fleet of ships in a scientifically accurate way. Sure, it might not be as visually stunning as in the movies, but as you’ll see, it is much more effective in combat. Not only are lasers invisible, but using today’s technology, a laser can be aimed at multiple target at once, firing quickly to take down multiple targets almost instantaneously. And with the kind of power the Death Star has, it would make short work of a fleet of Rebel Ships.

But let’s not forget: Star Wars, and Kyber Crystals, are not real, and I’m perfectly fine with that. Watch the clip below!

THE EXPANSE: The Official Trailer for The Final Season [Video]

Here’s the official trailer for the sixth and final season of THE EXPANSE, releasing on Amazon Prime Video on December 10th.

Holden and the crew of the Rocinante fight alongside the Combined Fleet of Earth and Mars to protect the Inner Planets from Marco Inaros and his Free Navy’s campaign of death and destruction. Meanwhile, on a distant planet beyond the Rings, a new power rises.

How can this be the final season? There’s so much more to be told! I guess I’ll have to get my hands on James S. A. Corey’s 8-book collection now, with the series’ ninth and final book, Leviathan Falls, being released at the end of this month.

Stephen Colbert Gives us An Intimate and Hilarious Look At Paul Rudd’s “Sexiest Man Alive” Body

Watch as Stephen Colbert evalutes Paul Rudd’s sexiness, just like a judge would evaluate a good, top of its class, prize-winning purebred dog. The best part? Clearly when Colbert gave a zerbert to Rudd’s belly. Gotta admire the man for that.
