Sun internal structure
Sun internal structure, computer artwork. The central region of the Sun is the core (yellow/white), where hydrogen nuclei are fused together to form helium, with the release of enormous amounts of energy. It is this nuclear fission that powers the Sun. Surrounding the core is the radiative zone (orange/yellow tangles), where energy in the form of photons is emitted by nuclei and then reabsorbed almost immediately by nearby nuclei. The density of this layer decreases as it cools further from the core, until it is cool and rarefied enough for convection to take effect, in the convective zone (dark orange). Here hot plasma rises to the visible surface (photosphere, bright yellow) and cools (dark dots) before sinking back to the inner layers. The Sun is around 1.39 million kilometres in diameter

Bring the wonders of the universe into your home or office with Media Storehouse's Sun Internal Structure Poster Print. This captivating image, sourced from Science Photo Library, showcases a computer-generated artwork of the Sun's inner workings. Delve into the intricacies of our star's core, where hydrogen nuclei undergo fusion to create helium. A striking addition to any space enthusiast's collection, this poster is a testament to the beauty and complexity of our solar system.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 50.4cm (16.5" x 19.8")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate internal structure of our magnificent Sun. At its core, a vibrant yellow and white region, hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium, unleashing an astonishing amount of energy through nuclear fission. This incredible process is what powers our beloved star. Surrounding the core lies the radiative zone, depicted by mesmerizing orange and yellow tangles. In this layer, photons are emitted by nuclei only to be swiftly reabsorbed by neighboring ones. As we move further away from the core, this layer gradually cools down and becomes less dense until it reaches a point where convection takes over. The convective zone is represented in dark orange hues and reveals how hot plasma rises towards the visible surface known as the photosphere – portrayed here in bright yellow brilliance. As it reaches this outermost layer, the plasma cools down forming dark dots before descending back into the inner layers once again. With a diameter spanning an astounding 1.39 million kilometers, this spherical marvel encompasses various layers that contribute to its awe-inspiring nature. From its radiant photosphere to its energetic core, every aspect of our Sun's internal structure plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. This stunning illustration serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe and reminds us of just how remarkable our celestial companion truly is.
