The sun does indeed have a surface that is (relatively) cool - only about 6,000 degrees. The core of the sun, where nuclear fusion occurs, is around 16 million degrees. I've seen pictures taken by real solar observatories that look very much like it does in the CBS-D's shots. I do wish they had shown the seething movement of the surface, but that probably wouldn't have been realistic for a short shot. #27: There are many ways to photograph the sun.

Anytime someone goes over there inflates the ego of Mr. Knowles that much more, leading to more profanity-laden rants masquerading as reviews and lending more credence to that site's "legitimacy," which is bought and paid for more often than not.

How hard would it have been to use REAL pictures of the sun to create the texture? The sun is a giant ball of extrememly hot gas (mostyl hydrogen.) This sun looks like it has a surface. Totally wrong. The sun is composed of layers of increasingly dense matter. The Enterprise is in the middle of where the corona would be. I don't care if it has shields. It's still not realistic for it to be that close. The erupting prominence looks wrong. They almost never form a perfectly symetrical arch with such evenly distributed matter. The one in the Voyager intro sequence looks much better. However, it is completely absurd for a ship to fly underneath one. Perhaps it will look much better animated, but I am dissapointed that the CBS team did not consult a solar physicist. The sun looks terrible and totally unrealistic.

A great big treasure hunt of a film. #23 – The movie was “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” that starred just about every major and minor star in Hollywood. A great big treasure hunt of a film.

Thanks SpockBoy for another Fantastic video. Dukes of Hazzard in Space, but a some Jessica Simpson would have been sweet. I don't recognize that Backus and Rooney film. From early 60's maybe.

Anyway, I'm thrilled because I got my wish and more. I really really wanted them to include the sun in the episode- and they did. I wrote this in the fall of 2006 here, how this wast the one correction I was really dreaming of. Tired of the E racing to the sun only to show black space. And a closeup of the slingshot! How wonderful, and thank you CBS. Let’s hope they cleaned up the stock footage. Anyway, I’m thrilled because I got my wish and more.

At least give us some better looking stock footage....... Why would they keep the original grainy and crappy stock footage of the F-104? At least give us some better looking stock footage…….
