“Mercury and the Chromosphere” is copyrighted by Phil Jones. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDuring Wednesday's transit of Mercury, astronomer Phil Jones captured this detailed image of the Sun using an H-alpha filter. This filter allows only the red light from hydrogen atoms to pass through, emphasizing the solar chromosphere. The image shows Mercury's silhouette along with a network of cells, dark filaments, spicules, and prominences.
