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 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: http://www.solarphysics.kva.se/
Here's one to the STEREO satellites NASA is just starting to use to take "3D" pictures of the sun using twin orbiting cameras: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/main/index.html

ReplyDeleteThe moon was neat. But when are we going to land a man on the sun?
ReplyDeleteNow thats a "burning ring of fire". Which reminds me. I need to re-fill my hemorrhoid cream prescription.
ReplyDeleteamazing to see the sun at such close range.
ReplyDeleteSol 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.

ASV
Correction, sorry- not a satellite. Ground based telescope.
ReplyDeleteASV
Site with pictures of the sun? I'd take a look. Better not look directly into... AAAARGH! MY EYES! AAAARAARARH A FAN!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet if the spent a few hundred million more on their telescope they'd get an even prettier picture.
ReplyDeleteIn my view one and all may read this.
