Antique Framed Print : Computer graphic of the Sun
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Computer graphic of the Sun
The Sun. Computer graphic of the Sun, showing its turbulent surface. The Sun is a massive nuclear fusion reactor in which hydrogen atoms fuse to helium to release heat and light energy. The core has a temperature of at least 14 million degrees Celsius. This energy radiates out to the surface which is called the photosphere, about 300 kilo- metres thick. The photosphere is affected by magnetic fields, producing phenomena like sunspots (cool areas, black); solar prominences (eruptions of charged particles) and solar wind, not seen here. Its constant output of energy means that the Sun loses about 4 million tons of mass each second

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer graphic representation of the Sun, revealing its dynamic and turbulent surface. Serving as an awe-inspiring reminder of our universe's grandeur, the Sun is depicted here as a colossal nuclear fusion reactor where hydrogen atoms merge to form helium, unleashing immense heat and light energy. At its core, temperatures soar to at least 14 million degrees Celsius. The radiating energy from the core reaches the Sun's surface known as the photosphere, which spans approximately 300 kilometers in thickness. This outer layer is profoundly influenced by magnetic fields that give rise to fascinating phenomena such as sunspots - cooler regions appearing black against the fiery backdrop. Additionally, solar prominences are showcased in this artwork; these eruptions consist of charged particles bursting forth from the Sun. Not visible in this particular image but worth mentioning are two other remarkable features: solar wind and mass loss. Solar wind refers to streams of charged particles continuously emitted by our star into space. Meanwhile, due to its constant energy output, it is astonishing to note that the Sun loses around 4 million tons of mass every second. This mesmerizing portrayal combines science with artistry while providing insights into our understanding of cosmology and astronomy. It serves as a testament to humanity's ceaseless curiosity about celestial wonders like our magnificent star – The Sun.
