Description
Surface of the Sun imaged with a hydrogen-alpha filter, showing its granular appearance. These granules appear in the photosphere layer, the layer that radiates visible light. Solar prominences are seen around the surface, with the largest at centre left. These are jets of plasma being ejected from the Sun's surface by turbulence in its magnetic field.
