Dark Sun Sizzling
This is our Sun, captured in three wavelengths of ultraviolet light. Even on a normal day, the Sun is a churning ball of hot gas. Regions of strong, tangled magnetic fields cause sunspots and bright active areas. Hot hydrogen gas streams along these magnetic loops, sometimes falling back to the surface, and sometimes escaping into space as solar wind.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
