A white-light image taken by the Big
Bear Solar Observatory. A white, or visible, light image is
what you see if you use a pinhole camera to view the sun (never
look at the sun directly!). It shows us a picture of the photosphere:
the "surface" of the sun. These images show sunspots,
regions of intense magnetic fields which are cooler than the surrounding
areas. |
