X-ray image of Sun
Active Sun, X-ray image. The Sun is a huge ball of hydrogen gas, ionised into a plasma by the immense temperatures that are generated by nuclear fusion at the core of the Sun. This fusion is ignited by the immense pressure generated by the Suns mass. An active Sun is more likely to eject plasma from its surface. The activity varies, peaking roughly every 11 years. The Sun does not just emit visible light, but emits a wide range of radiation, including X-rays. The Suns light and heat directly or indirectly provides almost all of the energy for life on Earth. The Sun is some 150 million kilometres distant from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an X-ray image of the Sun, revealing its active and dynamic nature. As a colossal ball of hydrogen gas, the Sun undergoes nuclear fusion at its core, generating immense temperatures that ionize the gas into a plasma state. The resulting pressure from its massive size ignites this fusion process. An active Sun is characterized by frequent plasma ejections from its surface, which can be observed in this image. These eruptions vary in intensity but generally peak every 11 years. It's fascinating to note that while we perceive the Sun primarily through visible light and heat, it also emits various forms of radiation including X-rays. The significance of our nearest star cannot be overstated as it serves as the primary source of energy for life on Earth. Its light and heat sustain all living organisms directly or indirectly. Despite being located approximately 150 million kilometers away from our planet, the influence of the Sun resonates throughout our entire solar system. This stunning illustration beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and artistic flair, making it an ideal addition to any space enthusiast's collection. With intricate details showcasing flares, prominences, coronal mass ejections, and more - this artwork offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring wonders of our vast universe without mentioning commercial use or affiliations with any company.
