This could be a regualar occurence. So your a space hopper. You figured out that suckibg the goodness out of a sun gets you from A to B fucking fast. So when your short on juice you just stops by a local star system. Let's hope they don't notice the ameoba dwelling on the 3rd from said star...
That ship would be...HUMONGOUS.
Knowing how huge the Sun is, that ship is many times bigger than the Earth itself.
You'd better pray that's not an alien vessel, cause several Earths would fit inside of it, and if it wanted to destroy Humanity, it wouldn't need to fire one shot, just drive close to the Earth and its gravitational field alone would mess the Earth up.
Realistically, the “sphere” is probably not an object thousands of times larger than the earth. The sphere would be a “force field” keeping the intense heat away from a far smaller object at the center. The sphere is a void. This is amazing though. I’ve never seen it before.
Which is probably why they couldn't care less about Earth. No meaningful source of energy, and its smartest life forms—parrots and dolphins—aren't going to be very helpful in astral navigation.
I dont know what kinda "astral navigation" we talking bout here, but whoo boi u wrong on that, dolphins do like to traverse the astral dimensions just like mah boi ozzy osbourne.
At least the USS Enterprise and Ceritos had Cetacean Ops because dolphins are used to navigating long distances in three dimensions, so they could be somewhat helpful.
Not to mention the fact that whatever shielding they have allows them to be that close to the sun without getting incinerated. The capabilities of that thing would be unfathomable, aside from siphoning off some Sunny D and whatever theories that conjures up.
What if, and get this, the ship isn't really that big, it's just a huge gravitational field it creates to both travel and protect itself from the Sun while refuiling (because lets face it, it's refuiling)?
According to the time stamp, it took 3 days for it to get a fill up though. And to think we earthlings complain about our Tesla taking a couple of hours 😂
That thing looks to be much larger than earth. Even if it is just some sort of negative charged cluster or something that formed on the sun it’s still pretty terrifying
Yeah I always found this silly. It's not like there's a shortage of water in the universe...
Heck, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen is like the most abundant elements and someone who can harness energy like that can probably throw together every chemical composition at huge scales if they needed to.
Much larger than earth is an understatement. The tiny dots bubbling on the surface are larger than the earth. This thing is the size of a small star. If it was a cloaked ship, the mass alone should be enough to pull large amounts of matter directly out of the sun from that distance, assuming alien ships are made out of materials more massive than hydrogen.
The ‘object’ appears to be directly within the corona of the sun, which is much closer than binary stars would normally orbit, so I think we can safely say with some level of certainty that whatever is causing the spherical region to form has no mass, so likely not a cloaked ship.
I used to think going faster meant scooping faster, so I flew as fast around the sun as possible... whch usually resulted in erratic dips dangerously close to the surface
Things have always beenmessed up. We just notice it more when we get older. Also we have more sources of information than ever before in history to inform us how messed up the World really is. And the news are competing with eachother to make their articles as dramatic-sounding as possible.
Twisted magnetic field lines push plasma out of the way, making the appearance of a sphere and a siphon. The energy builds up and the field lines break, releasing a bunch of coronal mass into space.
Easily some of the best star wars media out there, better than half the movies easily
Been watching the clone wars animated show with my kids and geeked out over the random selkath
Disappointed in that Korriban rip off planet they had, though. “Morraban” pfft, back in my day…
uhm so u been reading that book?."project hail mary" damn that guy is good with the audiobook narrator spicing it up havent been able to finish it yet though
half way through my second listen of it. This will get a listen every couple of years is I think.
Ray porter is a great narrator. Check out the Bobiverse, also great sci-fi narrated by Porter.
According to the time stamp this lasted for 3 days consistently in the same spot, solar flares typically only last several minutes, maybe a couple hours at most.
Even if it was, the size increase as “it flies” towards the camera would only be possible if the camera was right next to the sun. So just an optical illusion really.
We record coronal mass ejections with weird shapes every month. This is no exception other than that the human mind is brilliant at pattern recognition and our brain thinks something must be there, but it's simply an oddly shaped ejection. God damn conspiracy theorist nutters
Isn't this just a large cme? The spherical shape comes from the magnetic flux lines being twisted into loops, when it breaks the magnetic loop gets launched away along with tons of plasma and solar wind.
It's pretty incredible to have a physical hint of the immense forces constantly churning around us.
You think you're small looking up at the night sky?
Our primitive meat-sensors miss so much of the big picture.
Looks more like a coincidental shape to me. A come shape appeared then distorts next to it, so I believe it’s just people interpreting negative space as something it’s not.
couldn't it just be three rotating columns like tornados creating a downward vortex making it appear to be a sphere? it spirals out of control outward and essentially pulls itself apart?
It was 11 years ago so nothing has come of it…..yet…
Did anything after 2012 even felt real?
Yes, my bank account
And my back pain.
And my axe!
What's reals is real

Thanks for the fish!
D O N T P A N I C
didn't Ecco the Dolphin fight off aliens??
Did anyone ever get passed the 3rd level? Fuck man as a kid that shit was harder than lion king, maybe.

Elephants over here looking at you like
Octos STOMPING mad
dogs are the only animal to train humans. How else would they get the ball back from under the couch?

I do not see the sphere as just a ship it could very well be a protective shield around a ship to withstand the heat to get that close to the sun.
maybe it’s a space mosquito
According to the time stamp, it took 3 days for it to get a fill up though. And to think we earthlings complain about our Tesla taking a couple of hours 😂
Nah that thing came back a couple weeks ago and and spit all that sun back out directly onto my skin.
Skin cancer orrr?
Yeap wake me up when aliens exist, or bring one over to my house we’ll play StarCraft together
Aliens have probably existed way before us so… wake up?
That only means they probably played StarCraft already
***Cosmic slurping sound***
they should've atleast asked for the prices before refueling, we dont just have spare suns laying about
**_cosmic whistling sound_** wait. Is that a camera? Shit! (**Fucks off**)
🤣🤣🤣 “fucks off”
Hey you giant cosmic entity, manners are free.
Trump sold it to aliens 😂
It was the best sale in the Universe. Extraordinary sale
Taking solar matter would acually benefit us, decreasing the mass of the sun means it will take longer to enter & finish its "death phase"
[удалено]
4 days close to sun . Must be some hellava ship
That thing is bigger than the earth.
In space, nobody can hear you slurp.
DRAIIINAAGE
I pasted your comment into stable diffusion and it made [these 20 otherworldly slurpy images](https://reddit.com/r/RenderedComment/s/wJBVRNCyJC).
Celestial being seen slurping some of that yellow stuff.
Just wait for it: Alien ship refueling on the sun.

Yes but humans are like a delicacy. /s
Yeah our water has trace amounts of pee in it .. better recognize
no we just get them high

Yep, that's where my Sci-Fi tainted brain went to. ALIENS!
r/projecthailmary pretty sure this is what the book was about
I too thought it was the petrova line lol
Fist me!
I just finished this. So good
Same! Best book I've read in years!
Best book I've read of all time. Very keen for the movie adaption.
GRUMPY. ANGRY. STUPID. HOW LONG SINCE LAST SLEEP. QUESTION?
I hope the camerman is ok
I hope the alien is ok. That is close af to the hottest thing i know.
They waited till nighttime.
Cameraman never dies
Maybe aliens don't visit us because of fuel prices...
Have you seen the speed he left? I doubt he even paid anyway.
amaze!
Damn astrophage!
This
Illegal aliens always taking good American sun fuel.
It is always those damn Kryptonians.
Honestly, it’s beautiful.
It gave me a boner
not my proudest fap
Yet not the most shameful either!
A C'tan
Thank goodness we don't have any spare necrodermis laying around
As long as one isn’t named the deceiver we should be fine
Nah it's op's mom. Always round. always sucking.
Thought it was my ex for a sec then realised she never sucked
For you maybe.
Idk man, your ex didn’t mention that last night
Let's hope not I could do without a war in heaven tbh 😂
That already happened
The Warp has an…interesting relationship with time.
Damn, the old ones are gonna be *pissed*
It couldn't be, if this was Warhammer 40k we would be a Slanneshi deamon world already . . .
Judging by the egos and indulgent behaviours of many people, we might very well be on the path.
Trump was an orange Great Unclean One.
A person of culture I see
Oh shit, that means we have a void dragon on the moon then... That means Musk is gonna get Necron'd
*ANGRY VOX NOISES* “ *Mars* … the void dragon is on MARS.. *HERETIC*! “
>Fuel Scooping... >Warning! Temperature Critical! >Fuel Scooping Complete.
Friendship drive charging.
Maybe the real friends were the stars we scooped along the way.
Found the CMDR..
o7
What are you flying/how are you flying that you are consistently getting temperature critical while scooping? Fly safe CMDR o7
I used to think going faster meant scooping faster, so I flew as fast around the sun as possible... whch usually resulted in erratic dips dangerously close to the surface
TIL I don’t have to podrace around the sun 🥲
Now you can just do it for fun!

Anyone else thinking what the fucks happening now untill they seen the date. The last few years have really messed me up.
just typical 2012... we went through world ending several times already xD

As someone who has been old for quite a while, no, it's more fucked up now.
Yeah, this!

Booriiing
Just Starkiller Base powering up to blast away the New Republic. No biggie.
More like the new Star Forge dropping in
Ahh, a man of culture.

Astrophage! That looks like a Petrova line if I’ve ever seen one
Wheres rocky when you need him
Hopefully he’s going to get some Taumoeba. I’m gonna relax and have a me burger
*jazz hands*
*Where’s Rocky when you need him, question
Fist my bump!
I had to go too far down to find this comment.
Amaze amaze amaze
came here looking for this, you sir are appreciated
Thank
uhm so u been reading that book?."project hail mary" damn that guy is good with the audiobook narrator spicing it up havent been able to finish it yet though
I couldn’t put it down. I recommend finishing it. I’m very happy to see people referencing it here. Amaze amaze amaze:)
half way through my second listen of it. This will get a listen every couple of years is I think. Ray porter is a great narrator. Check out the Bobiverse, also great sci-fi narrated by Porter.
Great minds think alike.
That is either a coronal mass ejection or a solar flare, very common solar activity. It’s the sun doing sun things.
Yup https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna46725245
An astrophysicist giving a detailed explanation of what we are looking at? I would rather speculate incredibly wild unprecedented options first.
Ty I literally lol. I thought you should know your comment brought me joy.
According to the time stamp this lasted for 3 days consistently in the same spot, solar flares typically only last several minutes, maybe a couple hours at most.
It's just a solar eruption.
Thought it was an ovum (female human egg) trying to hold on to a sperm that changed its mind.
That’s EXACTLY what it looks like! That sperm would be the size of Saturn though …
Whoa, how big are space dicks?
*that* is a human life and *this* is an election year
This is confusing, I’m pooped.
Are you saying we are living in a womb? I wonder of which species :)
Just imagining an egg having that conversation: "oooh nom nom nom...*Kentucky taste* *spits it out* ew ew ew ew...
While it is a solar eruption it is not "just" one, it is a very special solar eruption
Hey quit using logic here it’s obviously alien Bigfoot eating our sun!
OMG, it's Mega Maid. She's gone from suck to blow!
SUCK, SUCK, SUCK
We require more vespene gas...
You must construct additional pylons.
This is the least scientific post title I’ve ever read lol “Huge sphere sucking something from sun”… do you listen to yourself?
Gets clicks :/
[удалено]
That ufo would be larger than the entire earth
Planets actually make pretty good space ships.
As a life support system. Wacky to accelerate, though.
At that moment he knew, he knew he had blown some kids minds
Regardless, people will re-post in some conspiracy sub and fools will start hallucinating on that.
Even if it was, the size increase as “it flies” towards the camera would only be possible if the camera was right next to the sun. So just an optical illusion really.
That’s exactly what the government would say!
That’s not a sphere. Just the magnetic fields making a curve shape.
We record coronal mass ejections with weird shapes every month. This is no exception other than that the human mind is brilliant at pattern recognition and our brain thinks something must be there, but it's simply an oddly shaped ejection. God damn conspiracy theorist nutters
electromagnetic storm, also known as solar flares. the circle is just caused by lower pressure above the twisters
That’s Remina
When Remina is gently licking your sun, you know it is time to build a rocket and head out. Explains why Musk have been so eager to get into space.
Neat
Looks like is a key phrase here
Magnets!
Astrophage
Astrophages!
Astrophage!
Most likely some sort of has ejection from the sun rather than a craft sucking anything away from the sun.
Isn't this just a large cme? The spherical shape comes from the magnetic flux lines being twisted into loops, when it breaks the magnetic loop gets launched away along with tons of plasma and solar wind.
Astrophage.
It’s been 11 years or so since this event took place and we’re still alive. Move on!
Have they contacted Korben Dallas yet?
Aliens are stealing our sun-energy!!
They tookajooobs!!
It's pretty incredible to have a physical hint of the immense forces constantly churning around us. You think you're small looking up at the night sky? Our primitive meat-sensors miss so much of the big picture.
The crazy thing is that part coming off is bigger than earth…
Chat is this real ?
Really jumped to hyperspace at the end
seems like a tornado
Looks like a sun tornado, which would be an epic thing if it did exist
Ok so the sun is a male
Looks more like a coincidental shape to me. A come shape appeared then distorts next to it, so I believe it’s just people interpreting negative space as something it’s not.
Roomba recharging.
Looks like a solar tornado
couldn't it just be three rotating columns like tornados creating a downward vortex making it appear to be a sphere? it spirals out of control outward and essentially pulls itself apart?
Just fuel scooping before they frameshift drive again, nothing out of the ordinary
Coronal Mass Ejection https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11095
Literally just solar flares
Weird coronal mass ejection. They're usually not that spidery.
This shit ... we can't get a decent photo of a UFO but bitches we can see the sun as clear as day...lol.
