Illustration of the sun with visible dark sunspots on the surface, prominences
Illustration of the sun with visible dark sunspots on the surface, prominences and some solar wind blowing off at the right. Mercury is the white dot, in scale, to the right. The Sun is approximately 300 times larger than Mercury, and 120 times larger than the Earth. The light from the sun takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach us, but the solar wind is much slower. Once it arrives, it can wreak havoc in our atmosphere, creating auroras, but also magnetic storms that blow out electrical infrastructure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty and immense power of our closest star, the Sun. The illustration vividly depicts dark sunspots scattered across its surface, revealing the dynamic nature of this celestial body. Prominences gracefully dance along with solar wind blowing off to the right, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of space. To provide a sense of scale, Mercury is portrayed as a small white dot on the right side of the image. This comparison highlights just how colossal our Sun truly is – approximately 300 times larger than Mercury and an astonishing 120 times larger than Earth. The significance of sunlight's journey becomes apparent as we learn that it takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for its light to reach us. However, while light travels swiftly, solar wind moves at a much slower pace. Once it arrives in our atmosphere, it can unleash havoc by generating awe-inspiring auroras but also magnetic storms capable of damaging electrical infrastructure. Through this digitally generated artwork, Fahad Sulehria masterfully captures various elements associated with our Sun – from coronal loops and solar flares to plasma-filled regions and radiation zones. Its bright glow emanates heat and energy essential for life on Earth while simultaneously fueling space weather phenomena such as solar cycles and heightened solar activity. In summary, this stunning illustration serves as both an artistic masterpiece and scientific representation that invites viewers into the fascinating world of astronomy while reminding us of the immense power wielded by dwarf stars like our beloved yellow dwarf -the Sun
