SOLSTICE PLASMA TWISTER: Imagine a tornado 20,000 km tall, twirling hot plasma in a vortex big enough to swallow Earth. Here it is:

Apollo Lasky of Naperville, Illinois, photographed the twister on June 21st, the summer solstice, using a backyard solar telescope. This solar storm system did not hurl material toward Earth. Instead, most of the tornado fell back to the sun after an exhausting spin. A higher resolution version of the movie may be found here.
