<p>In a close-up video of the Sun shows evident solar material twists. The turbulence is caused by combative magnetic forces on the Sun according to NASA.</p>
<p>This spinning cloud of solar material is part of a dark filament angling down from the upper left of the frame. Filaments are long, unstable clouds of solar material suspended above the sun&rsquo;s surface by magnetic forces.</p>
<p>SDO captured this video in wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, which is typically invisible to our eyes, but is colorized here in red for easy viewing.</p>
