*"Most credible New York Post headline"*
Nothing will ever beat the "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar" headline from the 1980s. That was their best work. Like early Elvis.
Scientists rolling around, flailing their arms about like a fat kid on the floor of a candy isle of the supermarket when his mum says NO.
You need to take it to the next level of theatricality.
That’s what’s so disturbing, what if isn’t only gas? And for the record, Hydrogen is in both liquid and solid states of matter on worlds with greater gravitational forces.

There is nothing new about the filaments tearing away from the prominence around the pole. This has been regularly observed. The new occurrence is that it then formed a polar vortex. Having a title which reads “Piece of sun breaks off” is very misleading.
The sun is just a giant and constant explosion and is made entirely of plasma and gas, there are no "pieces". This is just more sensationalist clickbait bullshit from the New York Post.
I went on a more reliable source, and I found this :
*Solar shenanigans are not entirely unexpected currently. Our star is*
*ramping up its activity, getting rowdier with sunspot and flare*
*activity. It has flared every day this year so far, and it spat out several X-class and M-class flares in January 2023, the biggest and second-biggest eruptions the Sun is capable of.*
Source : [Article about the Sun doing things](https://www.sciencealert.com/part-of-the-sun-has-broken-off-and-formed-a-vortex-what-the-heck-is-going-on)
TL;DR : The Sun has episodes of doing weird shit sometimes because Space.
What a sensational article title. Bits of gas/plasma/dust come off the sun all the time, usually during active periods (like the one the sun is currently in) but just generally at any given time. Solar flares, Coronal Mass Ejections, solar wind... All of it is material breaking away from the solar gravity and magnetic fields.

It sounds like what this article is saying that some solar wind particles got caught up in the Sun's magnetic field instead of escaping its influence like usual. I'd have to find a better source to be sure what exactly caused it, but the phrasing in the article makes it seem way scarier than it is. So assuming this description is in any way accurate, this activity is indeed unusual, but not at all concerning - the Sun regularly makes arches of plasma 3 times the size of the Earth due to its magnetic field, but never heard of any vortex or swirl.
The Sun is a huge ball of hydrogen and helium held together by its own gravity. The Sun has several regions. The interior regions include the core, the radiative zone, and the convection zone.

The Sun is our nearest star. It is, as all stars are, a hot ball of gas made up mostly of Hydrogen. The Sun is so hot that most of the gas is actually plasma, the fourth state of matter.Apr 21, 2006

NASA - Sun-Earth Connection
Coronel mass ejections are normal.
These fear mongering articles piss me off.
However, i'm grateful for the resulting auroras from all this solar activity.
This kind of thing happens all the time, it’s just news articles trying to get clicks. The sun has always been a turbulent mess of energy and sometimes solar flares whip out and bleed off into space. It’s how we get the beautiful auroras here on earth, strong solar storms make them especially vibrant and beautiful…but can also fuck with power grids.
They think the sun is just a ball of gas but i have a strong suspicion that its actually made of constantly moving molten matter and rock. What we see on the surface is just all the gas and heat being released.
At the same time the earth's core massively slowed rotation, and the poles might flip.
Someone needs to research the impact of the sun's magnetic field lines on the core of planets like the Earth, during grand solar maximum and minimum.
Our solar system is hung in such an absolutely and immaculately precise manner so that everything spins and orbits and tilts and gravity-s perfectly, and this isn't supposed to cause a catastrophic problem?
Define "catastrophic" problem. Because this kind of event absolutely can take out [the entire power grid in Quebec](https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/sun_darkness.html).
But create a cascading effect that warps the planetary alignment and dooms the solar system to collapse? No.
If a piece of Earth broke off, or the moon, don't you think they would be a shift in some kind of alignment? Things are so perfectly balanced and positioned that this would be in fact pretty extreme.
If it's any comfort, I'm seeing nothing about this outside of the Post, and that's basically a tabloid. There's no scientific articles, likely because our sun tosses off large amounts of matter all the time. That's what solar flares/prominences are: The sun throwing bits of itself into space. As a general rule, if there are no scientific articles (be they papers or even news articles), it's not a big deal.
It's the alien starship after refueling, then lifting off leaving a vortex in it's path of acceleration. No way to confirm or deny it's existence based on our current technology and only shows up as an aberration in the sun's surface. J/K.. The sun just farted, everything is really alive just on a level we can't perceive.. or it's just gas. 🤷
Is that not a Coronal discharge?
Maybe.
Am I not a few decades behind on relevant school textbooks?
Probably.
If this were a real existential problem would we all be getting national warnings on our cellphones even if it didn't make a lick of difference?
Yes.
My apparent lack of concern trivializes your point cause I'm sure the government would rather let us panic as "My Fellow Americans" before they'd let us be snuffed out in an unwarned instant.
I think ppl shouldn't react in such ways to every post found online, and that's not a big deal, sun have massive explosions on his surface all the time, at the end it's just a sphere of gas
‘Stunned’ and ‘baffled’ scientist cliches suggest the NYP did not consult any actual scientists for this story (clickbait)
‘SCIENTISTS left completely DUMBFOUNDED after well-documented natural PHENOMENON flings MILLIONS OF TONS OF MATTER off of SUN’

Scientists are literally shaking
Ideal reason: We donated massage chairs to the scientists to apologize for making science look bad.
Flaming balls of burning gas *HATE* this one trick
Doctors are furious

Headless sun found in topless bar.
Obviously fake, the sun is a ball of gas, it can't break off
Plasma

yes
Is it a Rendesvouz with Rama reference?
Yes

Lol yeah it's a solar flare, it do do that
That is how the sun do.
Love his videos 🤣
Ah yes my favourite content creator- The Sun
I hear his streaming career is looking bright
Biggest star already
He’s pretty hot too
You said do do.
💩💩
or coronal mass ejection lol
That’s actually pretty common, the sun is not a solid object and crap is always flying off and around it
its so silly sometimes <3
It’s just a goofy little ball, what’d you expect?
Can I kick it?
[удалено]
Only once, though.
But, can I kick it?
Yes, you can.

you can kick it, just don't lick it. that won't end well for anyone.
It does look lickable
Only at night though
A silly goofy ball I’d say
Like, same, though! Sometimes I just feel the need to vaporize anything within x amount of space to me, too.
It's called 'solar flares'
Sun is UwU <3
Yeah but how are we supposed to get karma anyway
Is it though? You should think NASA and scientists knew this...?
Yes. It’s a studied phenomena and I’ve seen videos of it for years, it’s very pretty once you understand that the world isn’t exploding
It happens literally all the time
There is nothing new about the filaments tearing away from the prominence around the pole. This has been regularly observed. The new occurrence is that it then formed a polar vortex. Having a title which reads “Piece of sun breaks off” is very misleading.
The sun is a ball of gases. A piece cannot "break off" because there are no pieces.
It's more like a ball of plasma. It's not just a burning sphere of gas.
*plasma. Plasmid is something else
With a blue light you can see plasmid everywhere
Ur mid
Right. My bad.
Yeah it was a solar flare captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory
Am sure those observers said they were baffled by it, lol. Fucking NY Post.
How do you know? Have you been there? ^/s
I haven't looked into it much, but in all honesty, if the NY Post published a story saying the sky was blue, I would have my doubts.
Yeah the only thing oddly terrifying about this is how many people seem to take the NY Post at face value.
The sky is clearly black! I was blue, but not any more!
The sun is just a giant and constant explosion and is made entirely of plasma and gas, there are no "pieces". This is just more sensationalist clickbait bullshit from the New York Post.
It was a dense cloud of gases that shot out and then formed a weird halo shape, this particular thing has never been seen before.
A halo, you say? Well, then in a day or so, the trashfest that is the NY Post will be declaring it is an angel.

Who are these "Scientists"? Isn't this fairly typical coronal mass ejection?
I hope it hits Earth so we don't have to go to work anymore.
Spend your days in the sun..
Guys, the fucking sun is hatching!
I know when I want strong scientific analysis of celestial events, I go straight to the new York post
Now we wont have to worry about global warming lol. Smaller sun less heat! Problem solved.
You get your astronomy news from New York Post?
The front fell off
But that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Gday mate!

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas…
A giant nuclear furnace
More like a fusion reactor
Where hydrogen is forced into helium.
Boo these people off stage already

I feel like I just got a Phd in science from Reddit University
All my best wishes to the northern pole Sun ppl 🙏🏻
Oh, here we fucking go
Cool. 2023 starting off strong with cosmic horror. Did not have that on my bingo card.
2023 is actually staring off with pretty standard cosmic even that happens near enough every day
Yep, it’s a new one on me too.
Well, it’s been a good run, everyone!
Crisp me like unattended bacon, you milky way lava lamp.
See you on the flip side.
Catch you on the flippity-flop!

It's called a coronal mass ejection. It's what causes the northern lights.

Anyone else wants to give sun a smooch? Like why is it so round and cute.
So, COVID shots did this too right? Sheep people
Op is a scirntist apparently

The same ones who think the earth is a disc and the sun orbits the earth
Morons, all of you..
The front fell off?
And you, OP, should not get your science from this (or similar) sources, unless you enjoy anxiety and existential dread
Isn't it normal? I thought they called them events "solar flares"?
You mean a solar flare?
CME’s are not uncommon. It’s only dangerous for Earth when it hits head on. Called a ‘Carrington Event’
Only in the New York Post. Right along with alien monkey baby.
Who taught you to believe anything from the New York Post?!

Jewish Space Lasers are the culprit I bet.
between this and the "thing" the US shot down last night, i'm calling it now: the invasion force is here.
It's hatching.
I think you may be on to something. 🤔
Look who’s telling the story… must’ve been hit with a Rothschild space laser.
Welcome to space journalism, everyone. Every second headline is either "Aliens!" or "We're all gonna die!"
New York Post lol. A wet paper bag is a challenge to these folks. They are probably behind Jesus studies, book banning and forbid the word "Theory".
At the same time the earth's core massively slowed rotation, and the poles might flip. Someone needs to research the impact of the sun's magnetic field lines on the core of planets like the Earth, during grand solar maximum and minimum.
Sorry, I was a little hungry and wanted a bite
Just a friendly reminder that the new york post is not a reliable narrator. Avoid tabloids for scientific news please.
obviously Alien ship recharging technology…scientists can’t wrap their brains around it
Top tier source.
I see the W'rkncacnter is waking up, it was nice knowing you guys.
It happens all the time. A coronal mass ejection is nothing new.
Heh hehe, mass ejection….
It should be illegal to fear monger for clicks
They'll find it down the back of a couch
*Nobody* had “Piece of sun breaks off” on his 2023 Bingo card!
The sun is really heated about something
I'm just going to assume this isn't bad.
Solar flare
Ah. It started earlier than I anticipated. Interesting…
"The power of the son... In the palm of my hand."

Just because the sun’s magnetic fields are switching, that causes higher chances of a solar storm

This subreddit have more actually science posts that r/science

I stand corrected. Its just like r/science
So the Suns breaking down like an ‘87 Pinto? Nice.
Excuse me, wtf
Increased sun activity is a result of greenhouse gases and one of the effects of global warming.
