The amazing shots, released by the US National Solar Observatory, show the sun's 'chromosphere' – the second layer in our sun's atmosphere, literally translating as 'the sphere of colour'.

Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawaii. The images show the chromosphere, the middle layer of the sun’s atmosphere, which can reach over 13,000 degrees Farenheit. The pictures vaguely resemble ...

Here’s how it works. The world's most powerful solar telescope has captured the first-ever detailed image of the sun's chromosphere, the layer of its atmosphere just above its surface.

This time, the Sun's chromosphere — the middle layer of its atmosphere — shows a softer, almost delicate side of our home star. In the words of one observer, it looks almost like shag carpet.

Bright hot plasma flows upward on the sun’s surface, while darker, cooler plasma flows down. In the chromosphere, the atmospheric layer above the surface, threadlike structures reveal the ...

the outermost part of the sun's atmosphere, and the chromosphere, a thin layer of plasma that sits between the corona and the sun's visible surface (the photosphere). These portions of the sun are ...

In the background, McCarthy wanted to capture the fiery drama of the sun's chromosphere, the thin layer of plasma between its visible surface (the photosphere) and the outermost layer of its ...

Most recently, McCarthy has been photographing the sun’s chromosphere, the thin layer of plasma between the sun’s surface and its upper atmosphere. The process has involved taking thousands of ...

The Aditya L1 spacecraft carries seven payloads to observe the photosphere (the deepest layer of the Sun that we can observe directly), chromosphere (the layer above the photosphere), and the ...

“Solar physicists who study the sun during eclipses are looking at layers called the ‘chromosphere’ and the ‘corona,’” said Sally Dodson-Robinson, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at ...

The spacecraft is carrying seven payloads to observe and study the photosphere (deepest layers of the sun), chromosphere (layer about 400 km and 2,100 km above the photosphere) and the corona (the ...
