I'm thinking small scale, maybe even very small.

Could be a pore in skin, or an ion channel in a cell membrane.

I'm thinking it's the center of a corn cob.

I'm with Ib, this is the sun and some new kind of way it operates that we weren't previously aware of.

It's a sunspot!

Ibby 07-06-2012 02:37 PM

it IS a sunspot. For sure. I've seen lots of photos like this of sunspots.
if it isn't a sunspot, it looks exactly like a sunspot.
