Not sure what the last two photos are supposed to represent nor why they would lead him to believe the surface of the sun is solid. The first appears to be sunspot (I would guess), and does to have a crater appearance similar to other solid objects (as the moon) that might mislead him.
I’m sure the crater appearance come more from the photo being looked at in black and white combined temperature gradients causing upheavals and isolated hot and cold spots within the sun spot.
Does anyone know what SOHO uses for imagery - infrared, visible or other?

it became quite apparent that many of the finer details revealed in the raw EIT images are simply lost during the computer enhancement process that is used to create the more familiar EIT (green) images that are displayed on SOHO’s website.

Of course they add the computer enhancements to help them interpret what we see, else you could make the same mistake this guy seems to have made.
