Horse hair discovered on sun!

The picture above is very similar to the picture below, wouldn’t you agree? I took the picture below a couple of years ago when rain had brought out the curl in Geronimo’s hair. The resemblance to today’s picture on Spaceweather.com is enough to convince me that under all the mysterious gases and magnetic fields on the sun lies its true covering—horse hair!*

*Oddly, horsehair (one word) refers to hair from the mane or tail only, used to make brushes and furniture stuffing. Horse hair (two words) means horse hair, used to cover horses’ bodies.

I just noticed your photo credits. I just edited our last blog and gave credit where credit is due. Just learning.

By the way the horsehairs / horse hairs just proves how much the same we all are.

Cleverly spotted, and to think we have always thought it was made of green cheese!
