The Sun's surface is a sea of whirlpools.
Now you can stir it.

In 2026, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured the highest-resolution image ever taken of the Sun's surface, revealing plasma vortices as narrow as 20 km curling along the edges of convection granules — the first confirmation of Kelvin‑Helmholtz instabilities on our star (Kuridze et al., Nature, 2026). The animation behind this text is a live fluid simulation of that phenomenon, running on your device right now.
