There are many unexplainable phenomenon related to the sun that still baffle scientists to this day. Galileo was the founding father of the gas model theory of the sun. He observed the sun through a common telescope and noticed that the sunspots on the “surface” which he saw with his naked eyes, did not rotate uniformly across the surface. He also observed that this “surface” rotated at different speeds near the equator than it did near the poles. From this study of sunspots and their uneven movement, Galileo surmised that he must be looking at a gas. He was right about that, although we know today that the photosphere is a form of plasma. Unfortunately Galileo simply assumed that no other solid layers existed, or could exist beneath the layer of the photosphere that he could see with his eyes. That was a CRITICAL mistake. It was a bit like looking at a world covered in water and not having the ability to see beneath the water and just assuming the whole world is made of water. Galileo did not have multimillion dollar “eyes” and Doppler imaging systems to look beneath the chaotic surface of the photosphere. Only in the past 10 years, a virtual blink of an eye in scientific terms, have we had the technology to put Galileo's assumption to the test. The SOHO, TRACE and YOHKOH satellite programs give us new sets of eyes, new ways to view the sun, new ways to peer beneath the layers of the sun that Galileo observed. The Hubble, Chandra and Spitzer space telescopes give us eyes to peer into other solar systems and other galaxies and enable us to look back at the original structures of our universe and see our universe in all new spectrums of energy. What they reveal to us about the structure of our universe is truly breathtaking. For forty-five years, I too believed that the sun was a giant ball of gas. I was taught all about Galileo's observations and the gas model theory of the sun that NASA still promotes to this very day. That is the model I was taught in school, and that is the framework I've always tried to work with. During all that time I simply could not explain or comprehend the phenomenon I was seeing as I studied satellite images and videos provided through the various satellite programs that study the sun. While viewing images from SOHO’s EIT program , I finally stumbled across the raw (unprocessed EIT images) marked “DIT” images that are stored in SOHO’s daily archives . After downloading a number of these larger “DIT” (grey) files, including several "running difference" images, it became quite apparent that many of the finer details revealed in the raw EIT images are simply lost during the computer enhancement process that is used to create the more familiar EIT (green) images that are displayed on SOHO’s website. That evening in April of 2005, all my beliefs about the sun changed. By changing a single thought, I was able to grasp the things I was seeing, and finally began to comprehend what I was looking at. I started to understand things about the sun and about our universe in a period of a few short weeks, things that had eluded me for a lifetime. That simple revelation was the understanding that the sun is NOT simply a ball of gas; it has a hard and rigid ferrite surface below the photosphere that can be seen in all three of the photos on this page! That revelation prompted me to do a lot more research into these unprocessed EIT images. Over the past few months I have downloaded and watched many gigabytes of these raw unprocessed data files. In fact I have viewed ALL of the nearly 14 gigabytes of currently available archive files dating all the way back to January of 2001. I’ve watched these videos over and over again, using a variety of programs to display these files. After countless hours of carefully examining this footage, I’ve come to the conclusion that the sun indeed has an electrically conductive and highly defined surface which rotates (uniformly) every 27.3 days. In my opinion, this discovery of a solid surface is a very important breakthrough and represents a huge leap forward in our understanding of how the universe works. Sound interesting so far? Have some objections perhaps? Please read on. I will present a lot of evidence from the SOHO program in the form of raw DIT images and videos to support these ideas. I'll also provide videos and photos from the Trace satellite as well. This isn’t just another unsupported, completely theoretical concept. A solid surface model of the sun is a LOT more logical and a LOT better scientifically supported than current models of the sun. More importantly, current models of the sun simply do NOT explain the video images we see through SOHO.
