Grey Sun Seething

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sun's surface is not smooth; it's covered in thousands of bumps called granules, each the size of an Earth continent. These granules are short-lived, lasting only a few minutes before dissipating and being replaced by new ones. This process, similar to boiling water, creates the seething appearance seen in this visible-light image.
