This image sports an impressive view of our own star, the Sun. Recorded in this image are several features of the sun, such as the large sunspot group AR 1339, Spicules over much of the face of the sun, and multiple noticable prominences. This image, according to the description, was attained by recording the sun in the single color of light Hydrogen Alpha, inverting it, and adding a false color. Having such an impressive image of the sun drives home it's importance in our lives.
