A cluster of stars in the constellation

At the microscopic scale, fire reveals its true chaotic nature. Here, flames do not billow uniformly but rather are composed of a roiling sea of individual reaction zones. Within each small flame pocket, fuel and oxidizer gases collide and ignite in a flurry of molecular excitement. Seen up close, the reaction zone is alive with activity. Myriad free radicals swirl and ricochet, initiated by the intense heat. Hydrocarbon chains unravel and crack as temperatures exceed 1,500°C. Atomic bonds rupture, releasing energetic electrons. Infractions of a second, elementary reactions run their course. Oxygen and hydrogen atoms collide, recombine into highly reactive OOH and HHO. These unstable molecules immediately disintegrate, perpetuating the frenzied heat release. The micro-fire propagates through the volatile fuel-air mix at lightning pace. One by one, pyrolyzed fuel particles burst alight, pinpricks of heat blooming into being. The collective energy release sustains the dancing flame front as it advances at millimeters per second. Within nanoseconds, the fuel-rich regions deplete. The brief explosions of heat fade, molecules stabilize, and the frenzied local reaction enters decay. But the micro-fire moves on, leaving microscopic ash in its wake.
