Magnetohydrodynamic fluids are so cool! The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving conductive fluid, which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field itself. Thus, a self-generating dynamo.

We really need closer images of the sun. The images shown are nice but where is the close drone footage?
