Does it rain on the Sun?

APOD: 2013 February 26 - Coronal Rain on the Sun




Hi Everyone,
This six minute video of the sun is a "Coronal rain on the Sun." The "shower" lasted ten hours. What's really fascinating about the video is, a few seconds after beginning the video an "Earth to scale" image is displayed. That might put what your watching into a little perspective.
