In the video "Coronal Rain on the Sun" a highly magnified picture of the sun is shown with mysterious things raining down. This is called coronal rain. Instead of water falling it is in fact super hot plasma that usually ejects out of the sun by solar flare. The plasma does not always fall back as it did but the coronal rain did occur making it a strange phenomenon that we are lucky to witness. The video is shown in ultraviolet light for not everything could be captured in the visible spectrum. This is a truly amazing occurrence and astronomers everywhere are dumbfounded by the video.
