EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense power and beauty of our Sun. Taken on January 22,2012, it showcases an M8.7 class flare erupting on the Sun's surface, accompanied by an earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) and a burst of fast-moving, highly energetic protons known as a solar energetic particle event. The image depicts the sun in all its glory against a striking black background. The vibrant orange hues of plasma dominate the scene, highlighting various regions such as the photosphere, chromosphere, and transition regions. Intricate coronal loops can be seen dancing across the corona - the Sun's outer atmosphere. This photograph provides valuable insights into space weather phenomena and solar activity during periods like solar max or solar maximum. It serves as a reminder of how these celestial events impact our planet and technological systems. The sheer heat and temperature emanating from this eruption are palpable through this visual representation. The intensity is further accentuated by sunspots scattered across its surface. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing square image captured by Stocktrek Images' talented photographers, we are reminded of both the awe-inspiring nature of astrophysics and humanity's quest to understand our place in the universe.
