Spacecraft Takes Close Up Video of the Sun, Revealing Otherworldly Hellscape

NASA released a very impressive 30-minute video of similar solar activity a few years based on images from their Solar Dynamics Observatory:

Once-intelligent narration of scientific videos has now been replaced with cinematic music and suspenseful drone sounds. I wish science would stop trying to compete with art and just deliver useful and already interesting information. Remember Bill Nye? Now all we get are attempts to clone Interstellar.

Is this in real time? If so then the speed of some of those structures is also incredible.

Is there some slightly more raw footage available somewhere? This video is obscured by various bits of educational content.

Can anyone else simply not even comprehend the existence of trillions of giant floating balls of gas that are just in a constant state of explosion, floating through space!? Like... how???

This looks a video explanation of a single still image. Am I missing something?

Helioscape, surely?
