Berserk: While it only happens twice briefly during a fight, Guts and Casca go back to back while facing off against one hundred enemy mercenaries.

Appleseed: Ex Machina has one of this right at the beginning with Deunan being surrounded by a bunch of cyborgs as Briareios comes to the rescue, does a fairly Unorthodox Reload ejecting magazines out of his arms, then the two of them proceed to shoot up the cyborgs, "to ask them", with Deunan showcasing her incredible mobility.The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Nano and Mimimi do this in Chapter 43, when they are fighting off Hahari's tentacle hair.May result in an Offhand Backhand by one character to protect another. Occasionally this backfires on one character, when the other proves not so trustworthy, but not often. Battle Couples and their non-romantic counterparts, Fire-Forged Friends also love this trope. It also underlines the respect and trust they each, despite their banter, have for the other. The Rival will do this instantly with the hero should any third party interfere, because naturally they are the only one who should be allowed to fight the hero. A warrior's most vulnerable area is his back, and by putting their backs together, two warriors can eliminate this disadvantage and turn it into an advantage. The fully realized fight scene of this image is the Bash Brothers. Usually involves a lot of spinning and may lead to Radial Ass Kicking. Originally published on two people (or more on the rare occasin) are completely surrounded, outnumbered and outgunned, by simply coming together and having their backs against each other, they are suddenly much more capable.
Webcomic in space android fly under the sun corona crack#
So, when you feast your eyes on the plasmatic glory of the sun's corona this August, maybe you could take a crack at trying to understand it, too.įollow Paul and /PaulMattSutter. But the detailed physics have bedeviled scientists for decades, despite extensive study and simulation. It's this cycle of twisting-and-releasing magnetic field lines that scientists think is responsible for sunspot cycles and solar weather like flares and coronal mass ejections.ĭoes this process of releasing stored magnetic energy feed the flames of the corona? Its intensity does seem to be linked to the sunspot cycle, which is an important clue. Those magnetic fields get warped and twisted and, eventually, can burst apart, releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy in the process. We know that as a spinning ball of charged particles, the sun carries some pretty hefty magnetic energy.

It might have something to do with magnetic fields, though. So how does the corona get so hot, despite extending far beyond the surface of the sun? Well, scientists are not exactly sure. High temperatures mean that a single particle will slam into you like a bullet, but if there are hardly any particles around to begin with, you'll barely feel a warm breeze. The corona is incredibly thin, and its temperature is a measure of the average speed of the particles that comprise it. Of course, you wouldn't feel that heat if you swam through it. That's roughly the same temperature as the sun's cacophonous nuclear core, and it's way, way hotter than the bulky mass of the rest of the sun.

Did I mention that the corona has a temperature of over a million Kelvin? That seems like an important detail.
