It rains on the Sun, the gigantic thermonuclear orb that burns with the multi-million-degree 'fires' of fusion. This rain is made of superheated plasma, and researchers might have discovered its secret: quickly shifting flows of elements such as iron, silicon, and magnesium. In a poetic, scientific twist, these new findings come courtesy of researchers at the Institute for Astronomy (IfA) at the University of Hawai'i, from the chain of sunny, volcano-forged islands that have their own distinct
