A star 75 times the size of the sun is bubbling like a lava lamp
The images show giant, hot bubbles of gas, 75 times the size of the sun, appearing on the surface of the star, called R Doradus, and sinking back into it faster than expected. Energy is produced in the cores of stars through nuclear fusion and huge, hot bubbles of gas can carry this energy towards the star’s surface.
The sun bubbles. Astronomers just saw a distant star do it, too.
Like an enormous lava lamp, the sun roils with hot bubbles that rise from its belly to the surface, then cool and sink back down into its interior. This process occurs through convection, distributing heavier elements like carbon and nitrogen throughout the sun.
