Sunspot


I saw this amazing image of a sunspot, and thought I should share it with everyone

Seriously, I don't think we should stare at this too long … but for scientists who plan to, this new, high-resolution view of a sunspot stands to unlock secrets of the Sun's mysterious energetics.

In the just-released image above, the interface between a sunspot's umbra (dark center) and penumbra (lighter outer region) shows a complex structure with narrow, almost horizontal (lighter to white) filaments embedded in a background having a more vertical (darker to black) magnetic field. Farther out, extended patches of horizontal field dominate. For the first time, scientists have modeled this complex structure in a comprehensive 3D computer simulation, giving scientists their first glimpse below the visible surface.

Opera Unite ....

Opera has made me shift my browser again ... now I use Opera 10.0 Beta(Unite).

Its amazing look and feel is not the only reason though. It was always faster than all of the web browsers but somehow, some of the sites would not open properly in it. Somehow Chrome stole its thunder, but now Opera is back with cool features and amazing additions.

Opera Unite is a beta feature which they have come up with. Currently with file sharing, media player, lounge , fridge and some other services, its a very promising product.


Check it out here : http://unite.opera.com


The lounge and file sharing are really cool and very useful services, the fridge is useless but fun!

Oh did I mention that you can host your web server too?... lols... 

Maybe this is a new turning point for Opera?
