Last year, #ISRO 's solar probe #Adiyta-L1 witnessed a X6.3 #flare and captured 1st images from the #chromosphere. Published today by scientists led by #IUCAA and including #MPSGoettingen in #TheAstrophysicalJournalLetters. More here: https://www.mps.mpg.de/8324638/news_publication_24282801_transferred?c=6775 ☀️🔭

The Sun in H-Alpha light (656.23 nm), 22 august 2024. Prominences.

A couple of images I did manage to save from a session during a quite bad morning for imaging the Sun, due the poor seeing and the sky transparency. I did like the results, though.

CHROMOSPHERE / 8 Years of Making Things

#Chromosphere is celebrating 8 years of #Animation.

I love #Yuki7, but my fave is still #CarmenSandiego. A master class in adaptation. Taking so much of what came before, doing something so new, so cool, and still keeping the spirit of the franchise.

Some picules, the tendrils rising above the surface of the solar chromosphere, visible through an H-alpha filter.

Hello #Astrodon folks! I wanted to #introduce myself. This is a #SciComm account for the Solar eruptioN Integral Field Spectrograph group. We're building a new instrument to study the sun! It'll help our understanding of #SolarPhysics, #StellarPhysics, #SpaceWeather, and #AerospaceEngineering.
If you'd like to learn more about the #Sun, the #SolarCorona, or the #Chromosphere, give us a follow!

On Sunday it was 8 years to the day since I photographed the biggest solar #prominence I've ever seen. It was 100,000 km tall & that tiny dot is the approximate size of Earth to scale. Taken with a #CoronadoPST + Canon 1100D with 2x Barlow #Sun #SolarImaging #SuninHAlpha #Chromosphere #SolarFeatures

My piece of photography "Shining through the valley", highlighting that moment during an eclipse when the lunar mountains have covered up the sun's disk, the only direct sunlight left being little "beads" that effervesce before the last plunge into total darkness.

This particular example, the only one I've yet seen, comes from the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse.

When we observe the sun under Ha filtering, we are able to see the sun's #chromosphere and its #prominences. The chromosphere is a gaseous layer, mainly hydrogen, which lays above the #photosphere. The high temperatures at that layer causes the hydrogen to glow red at that wavelength, hence the Ha name. Also, you could be able to see a #prominence, which is an eruption-like event of solar material thrown out into space!
