A video recording of the sun's surface:

This is a really "cool" video of a "hot" object- the surface of the sun (our sun). Taken with a H-alpha filter fitted on to a telescope, you can see a red hot plume, the solar flare reaching outwards from the solar surface. Enjoy....

This is an actual video recording of a Pulsar:

This video recording shows a Pulsar. A pulsar is a neutron star that spins very rapidly, emitting streams of electromagnetic radiation, at regular intervals from a few milliseconds to 8 seconds. The pulsar can only be seen when the bursts of radiation reach us on earth during these regular intervals. Watch this video recording of a Pulsar...
