These pics weren't taken from 5000km away-they were taken from Earth (Swedish Solar telescope on the Canary Island of La Palma). The scale on the pic is 5000km.

5000 km ? no camera can stand that close.

Hey thats where i live!

The moon was neat. But when are we going to land a man on the sun?

Now thats a "burning ring of fire". Which reminds me. I need to re-fill my hemorrhoid cream prescription.

amazing to see the sun at such close range.

Sol is so lovely. Its reminds me of vango's painting of Sunflowers. Its amazing that swirling ball of nuclear fire putting all of its engergy out.

5000 km away?? Are you nuts? ... There'd be no camera. No photographer. No spaceship. If the heat alone doesn't vaporize everything, a solar flare would disintegrate you before you could take in the first breath to say "cheeze".

Awesome.
Here's a link to the satellite's website:

Here's one to the STEREO satellites NASA is just starting to use to take "3D" pictures of the sun using twin orbiting cameras:

ASV

Correction, sorry- not a satellite. Ground based telescope.

ASV

Site with pictures of the sun? I'd take a look. Better not look directly into... AAAARGH! MY EYES! AAAARAARARH A FAN!

I'll bet if the spent a few hundred million more on their telescope they'd get an even prettier picture.

In my view one and all may read this.
