There Are Planet-Sized 'Tornadoes' on the Sun!

The video discusses solar tornadoes, revealing they are not tornado-shaped but appear so due to perspective. Recent research using 3D imaging shows plasma moves horizontally, not vertically. The video also covers galaxy jets from supermassive black holes, highlighting a study using interferometry to achieve high-resolution images. This study found jets wider than expected, suggesting they may originate from the accretion disk, challenging current models.

What is a solar tornado primarily composed of?

• Dust particles

• Hot plasma

• Water vapor

• Wind and air

How do solar tornadoes appear to move according to recent studies?

• Randomly in all directions

• In a circular motion

• Horizontally across the sun's surface

• Vertically like a funnel

What technique allows astronomers to use multiple telescopes as one large telescope?

• Astrometry

• Photometry

• Interferometry

• Spectroscopy

What is the significance of the jets observed in galaxy NGC 1275?

• They confirm the existence of dark matter

• They prove the Big Bang theory

• They are the first jets observed in any galaxy

• They challenge current models of jet formation

Where do current models suggest black hole jets originate?

• The black hole's ergosphere

• The accretion disk

• The galactic core

• The event horizon
