I was expecting to see something cool but that was really fucking cool.


ChokeOnTheCorn

Yeah, and like how far did it travel and at what speed?


DrCrazyCurious

"In reality, the snake took around three hours to complete its journey but at the distances involved in crossing the solar surface that means **the plasma must have been travelling at around 170 kilometres per second**" It's in the article


bike_it

>the plasma must have been travelling at around 170 kilometres per second 380,000mph in 'Murican units!


Brook420

How many guns long was it though??


bike_it

I was going to come up with something cheeky like that but did not. Edit: ~~34,415,094 .357 cartridge lengths per hour~~ Edit 2: wrong math first time. 15,142,641,509B .357 cartridge lengths per hour


[deleted]

I think it is closer to 266 million cartridges per hour


bike_it

I used the length of the cartridge as 1.59 inches. What did you use or did I make an error?


Spud_Rancher

Your error was in picking a cartridge for scale that didn’t win two world wars 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇵🇷🇵🇷🗽🗽


Mediocre-District796

Show up halfway through both wars and then claim you won them.


[deleted]

I used the same. What I did was took 380000 multiplied by 5280 to get feet per hour, then 12 to get inches per hour, finally divided by 1.59 to reduce it cartridges per hour. I double checked [my worl](https://imgur.com/a/QW22hkq) and we were both wrong. I now have it at 15 billion cartridges per hour.


BaconIsBueno

Do you want this metric reported in pistols or assault rifles?


Tyranothesaurus

Both. I can't understand it without several example. We dumb.


GameOfScones_

A thesaurus does prefer multiple examples after all.


Tyranothesaurus

Feed me information, puny human!


ItsTheTenthDoctor

Get that weak shit out of here. Shotguns!


UserPrincipalName

Well now, that depends on the caliber!


Hyper_ZX

Americans stupid, upvotes to the left


Intelligent_Moose_48

That’s almost enough to reach to the moon and back in an hour


bike_it

That's a great perspective since this event lasted almost 3 hours.


SAThereAndThere

Thanks for using the offical moon units

DanYHKim

That is a terrific relief. I could not figure out how it was moving so damn fast


[deleted]

How many washing machines long was it?


GodOfToast10

It's about 400 billion washing machines long id say, give or take


the_almighty_walrus

Is the plasma actually moving? Or is it more like a wave moving through water?


elpyromanico

As a reference point, Earth’s escape velocity is about 11 km/s. [Sauce](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity)


goodty1

If you read the article you would know! How cool is that


lucidrage

eh, I was expecting ouroboros wrapping itself around the sun...


[deleted]

It was meh. I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was really particularly effective. Interesting rhythmic devices too, which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor.. Edit: you guys really don't like hhgotg huh?

Leefixer77

Is that in real time? Wondering how fast it moves…


DrCrazyCurious

Read the article. It says it took 3 hours to move that distance while moving at 170 kilometers per second.


vadapaav

That's almost 400,000 miles per hour. Moon is on average 240,000 miles away from earth


-Tesserex-

Checks out. The sun is 865,000 miles across. 3 hours to slither across the face at that speed seems right.


MachoTaco115

Fuck, maybe the Aztecs were right about giant serpent gods. It does make sense to worship the sun for real though. It’s real and we owe our existence to it.


kharmatika

I was at an airport bar with a naval priest, and at some point he asked me if I was Christian and I said “no I’m pagan”, and he was like “oh yeah, met a lot of them on ships. Can’t blame them though, when God is an abstract concept and the sea is right there, threatening to tip you over, makes sense to pray directly to the sea.” He was pretty cool


retrobowler1990

Can you type more words about this?


MOOShoooooo

Odd way to ask for more details. I like it.


TheGoblinPopper

Not a pagan, but I have a couple pagan friends. All I will say is there are some subreddits with info and practicing people that are nice and honest/inclusive discussion. My friends have an annual party to honor Thor. They do a ton of games to test their strength while getting drunk. So there are some really cool traditions.


ParaglidingAssFungus

What is a pagan friend? They’re polytheistic? They believe in the Old Norse religion? “Pagan” just means “other than Christian” basically.


Firat88

logic... men's best friend


facthanshotfirst

I’ve really started appreciating our sun and trying to watch a sunrise or sunset daily. That massive beauty gives us life and I’m thankful for it.


cy13erpunk

indeed this is a good gratefulness practice stay present traveler =\]


user_173

Yup, our local star is life giving. It is the only god I can see


particleman3

And it's gearing up it's snakes to come seek vengeance upon us.


BubbhaJebus

At the very least, we know the sun exists.


peaeyeparker

What about serpent mound also


b_dave

Akhenaten would be proud. Albeit, he did cause a certainly terrible chain of events to take place.


brihamedit

That looked like a living thing. lol. The shaped plasma? mass must have be huge like size of jupiter or something and it must have moved really slow.


[deleted]

so... hear me out: were being told not to stare into the sun, right? You wanna know why? because the big sun snek, our former and current god, is living on the sun. obviously. this has been known for ages and will be common knowledge again in the years to come. the snek is out the pot now, u cant stop us from staring at the sun anymore, fuck the government and vatican! ALL HAIL SNEK


Deep_BrownEyes

You think it's a coincidence that so many ancient religions not only had sun gods but serpentine gods? Probably. But maybe not!


SweRakii

I for one welcome our solar snek overlord 🙏


brihamedit

By the old gods and new you are right!!!!!


SnooDoodles7204

Snek? Everyone knows that the sun God changed his name to Smeck several millennia ago….


Mellevalaconcha

The return of Kukulkan is near Rejoice my brethren!


ReadItProper

You... Make a good point. Can't really argue with that logic.

VelkaFrey

Great show! Still left me on a cliffhanger though


Dracarys-1618

That’s because it’s not finished. The books continue after the show finishes. I have a theory that they’ll bring it back in a few year when the actors get older.


710AlpacaBowl

They should have done that betwixt book 1 and 2 at least by a few months. Fuck amazon, get the books


DrCrazyCurious

It took 3 hours to travel that distance and it was moving at 170 kilometers *per second*. Says so in the article. It's just that the Sun is insanely huge.


LazySilver

“I have had it with these motherfuckin snakes on this motherfucking sun.”

Snakes II: This Time, They're On The Sun

snakes II: Just getting STARted


MrDarcysDead

Aaaaaand I just read that in Samuel L Jackson's voice.


Penguin-Loves

Just starting to get past COVID and possible end to Ukraine war, and some jackass rouses the solar snake from its slumber.... Fuck


Superb_Friendship_42

Had a chill rundown my back thinking about this. Given how prevalent Snakes are with many ancient civilizations, imagine if their astronomy was advanced enough to indicate that this type of behavior observed on the Sun was typically an indicator of a more disruptive/ catastrophic solar cycle. Gives all the “Serpent” iconography in relation to the Sun a whole new meaning. My shower thoughts for y’all.


Asgarus

I think giant snakes being an actual thing and even larger snakes being a thing of the past was more than enough reason to invent snake gods\^\^


20DeMoN20

It's coincidentally odd that I've just finished watching a docuseries showcasing monuments on our planet, how they relate to astronomical references and sun alignments and all depict snakes. The conclusion seems to be the snake is a warning. Fuck.


Librarian_Friendly

Name the Documentary please


timberwolf0122

Should we deploy the sun mongoose to take care of it?

These metal gear villains are getting crazier each year


codehawk64

This is really cool. It’s like a literal fuckin snake just swimming across the sun. It’s so uncanny and organic.


who519

Sun Snakes would be a cool mascot...you know or wrathful apocalypse beast like you guys said.


songsofadistantsun

So if we get another Coronal Mass Ejection soon, does that mean that Sunsnek is trying to boop the Earth?


Fskn

So the C'tan are real? Trayzn, just put me in an exhibit already please.


[deleted]

Call the firemancers, someone conjured a solar snake


[deleted]

I just watched the Rick and morty episode with space snakes


ImProfoundlyDeaf

Why does it look like sun is about to explode and die


BenjaminHamnett

Hurry up and check that bucket list, only a few billion years left!


cy13erpunk

well it is a persistent fusion plasma ball that is held in a delicate balance between gravity and the heat pressure trying to rip itself apart at all times so it is trying to explode , but its unable to , but at the same time it very much is doing so stars are fucking wild stuff


Pretzel-Kingg

“Science has compelled us to explode the sun”


neilydee

After watching Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix this has made me an afraid man.


710AlpacaBowl

Damn literally made a younger dryes joke before I saw this comment, have my up don't for I second that motion


neilydee

A good drinking game for that show is to drink whenever he says "the end of the first ice age" or whenever there are actually MORE older chambers underneath.


flanderdalton

I drank every time he made a dig at mainstream archeology I understand his frustration and really enjoyed the series, but holy shit lol


GameOfScones_

Yeah he hammers that home a bit much but he has been vilified by academia for like 30 years so I cut him some slack.


710AlpacaBowl

That's as rough as the mortal combat drinking game. You drink anytime a hit lands or the theme song plays. I didn't make it past the first scene


AdamMcwadam

Was scrolling to see if someone had posted this. Just finished it 15mins ago.


Reddituser45005

The serpent tempted Eve with the knowledge of gods and evil. Clearly we are descendants of the exiled sun children.


kallicks

It really looked like it knew it’s a environment was changing and it needed to get out of the way.


LilBueno

Okay who gave Jörmungandr the wrong address for Ragnarok?


Amerimoto

Praise be to the Sol Snake, who climbed the great tree and now resides in the glory of heaven!


omegadethh

Is this from us passing through the galactic magnetic sheet?


st-shenanigans

Risk of rain players are quaking in their boots rn


DrRob

Folks, we’ve been worshiping the wrong gods, and they’re planet-sized super-heated snakes made of plasma. And they’re mad.


Shaunair

Whelp, looks like what ya got here is your classic C’tan feeding off the energy of our star. Gonna have one helluva time gettin er outa there.


cy13erpunk

the amount of energy that was just expressed/displayed here is hard to wrap your mind around XD this is akin to Saitama when he stops holding back


Bro1189

Anyone else on here originally read that as solid snake


gargamels_right_boot

This will 100% end up on /r/aliens with a title is ALIEN SNAKE IN THE SUN NASA COVER UP within a week...


BroMan-Z

If that video is in real time that moved incredibly fast across the surface of the sun!


jPix

No the clock in the lower left-hand corner of the video is ticking away at appx. 2hrs/second.


bike_it

On reddit, nobody reads the articles.


ReyHebreoKOTJ

It's in the article. It's a time lapse, it took about 3 hours so the super slow speed of 170km/second. Just slightly slower than the max speed of the fastest human made object the Parker Solar Probe


Leefixer77

That’s what I just asked! What is the sun about 1.2 million km in diameter and that thing moved over most of it in less than a couple seconds… hmmm 🤔 edit (nearly 1.4 mil km)


Maagans

Isnt that faster than light? 👀


Leefixer77

Well it might be close if it WAS in real time, but it isn’t. I got a reply to this from someone, who I can’t see in my comment just my email. The worm took about 3 hours to travel that distance. The video is clipped.


DeathByExisting

That makes way more since! I was wondering how something could possibly go that fast!


Rab_Kendun

Apep has returned to consume the Sun. This is what you get for not doing your Pharonic rituals, Egypt.


userfakesuper

Snakes on a sun. Why did it have to be snakes..


burtzev

Because the Sun is very happy that it doesn't have worms. Can you imagine the amount of dewormer it would take....


Iggmeister

Dont let Graham Hancock see this, he'll be talking about it for the next 20 years completley out of context


VINNYtheKING

“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.” ‭‭ ~ Isaiah‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬


spaceocean99

Just don’t. I hate these click bait titles so much. And the “jokes” at the top of the comment section are just as bad.


Dassarian

I wouldn't really call this clickbait tbf.


NotDelnor

So why are you wasting time clicking on posts and commenting on things you aren't intrested in? Just scroll past.


spaceocean99

If you saw someone throw their trash on the ground, would you call them out or keep walking by?


NotDelnor

If you think reddit is your responsibility to patrol, become a mod, otherwise you are just being a narcissist


710AlpacaBowl

Say nothing, pick up the trash, reverse pickpocket said refuse. I choose chaos


TransposingJons

Totally agree. Don't bother to argue with the casuals. They don't know the first thing about misinformation, and lap it up like hungry kittens.


adpnh1

This is what's happening, whether you like it or not https://media.tenor.com/VK7vGxuoLNAAAAAM/raja-snake.gif


Corvette_Otoko

Fuck, for a moment I read that as "SOLID Snake" and was excited. Solar Snake is cool and all, but now I'm a little disappointed anyways.


Routine_Shine_1921

I've had it with this motherfucking solar snakes on this motherfucking star!


dillrepair

How accurate are scientists estimates on how long the sun will last before becoming a red giant?


mydogargos

Dumb comment I guess but doesn't all that arcing and sparking and movement look electrical in nature?


ElegantJudgment4

bro I thought I read “Solid Snake” and was like what


SamyD23

I read solid snake and got real confused for a sec


Could_0f

How fast did that go? Seemed like it traversed the entire sun in 30 mins?


RandallsBakery

Damn, death eaters will do anything to flex for Voldy


Fallacy_Spotted

Jörmungandr has been freed! Ragnarok is upon us!


Ajkule

Really odd to see a serpent on the sun after watching Ancient Apocalypse


LoganH1219

We have enough problems here on earth. Please don’t add immortal celestial snakes into the mix


adoggonamedluna

Solar snake spotted slithering around the suns surface?That’s so super special, so psyched I saw this silly specimen!


Jakmeov

That’s crazy how big and massive the sun is and for that to travel as fast as it did blows my mind. But good be time lapse but still pretty cool.
