Cool Pictures of the Sun

Some interesting perspective of the fiery ball in the sky.

1.
Coronal Mass Ejection (Billions of tons of matter being shot into space)
2.
Solar Photosphere (highlighting the three dimensional features of the sun)
3.
Solar Seismic Waves (earthquakes on the Sun)
4.
False-Colour Solar Corona (Bright colors represent heat)
5.
Erupting Solar Filament (Filaments are concentrated bundles of magnetic field filled with relatively cool gas that can erupt)
6.
Magnetic Structures On The Sun
7.
Solar Minimal State
8.
Prominence Eruption On The Sun (The material observed is actually ionized Helium at about 60,000 degrees.)
9.
Lunar Transit of the Sun (A transit of the Moon across the face of the Sun on February 25, 2007 – but not seen from Earth)
10.
Sunspot in H-Alpha Wavelength
