Another cloud free day in Scotland let me catch almost 9 hours of this huge and lively prom. Taken with my home made 90mm modded Coronado PST and DMK21 camera. Software: CdC, Eqmod, DSSR, AutoStakkert!, Wavesharp, DVS, Shotcut and Gimp.

Life as we know it could not "evolve" on the sun. And technically life has to be present first before it can evolve. Evolution isn't what created life. It's just how the living change over time.
I'm pretty sure somewhere a being exists that is basically just self modifying plasma fields living inside a nova remnant
Sounds like the kind of thing a self-modifying plasma field living inside a nova remnant would say, on the internets.
No indeed, fellow carbon-having being! I am truly an human, that does many humanish things like laughing and farting, sometimes both at once! akakakakak!
It is silly to think that anything as beautiful and majestic as a self-modifying EM field could exist, I mean such a being would be perfection right? Basically a glowing radiant god yes? Oh my I truly wish I was a free-flying energyform of psychically controlled vortexes of pure creation, instead of this little crunchy salt water sack that we humans are always being.
No, I truly love this cold little rocky world where matter can exist in other simpler forms than vibrating and glorious plasma.
A gaseous cloud in space the size of 7 suns may have the ability to flow right past us, but also, think.
Obviously plasma beings would be nothing like us at least physically (theoretically it could have similar systems like nervous systems)
And as for life having to exist first, ehh, terms get vague at that point, are the chemicals alive? No, but when they happen to be in a certain state they are, I prefer to think of it like Rocks evolve into a planet, not the same thing as biological evolution but it's the same word and since the chemicals are the predecessor to life then they did evolve from them in that manner just no genetics involved
Except you don't just get to conflate your personal definition of evolution with the scientific one. If you want to believe rocks "evolve" into a planet, that's fine. But if you start bringing that up without clarifying your definition of evolution and how it factually differs from the scientific one, people will think you're crazy.
Except chemicals do literally evolve into life which evolve into DNA, it is a fuzzy point because DNA didn't exist yet, but it is still natural selection and random chance that leads to the first life form, I am deliberately conflating biological evolution with the more main stream definition because at that point in time biology physics and chemistry were all physically conflated.
This is entirely incorrect. Abiogenesis is the mechanism that converts "chemicals" to life. The only thing you are deliberately doing is stating factually incorrect concepts about an intensely deep and developed area of study. The "more mainstream definition" is just wrong.
