"Unveiling the Hidden Atmosphere of the Sun: Astounding Composite of 90000 Images"

Astrophotographers Andrew McCarthy and Jason Guenzel have created a stunning composite image of the sun's atmosphere, using approximately 90,000 individual images to showcase the usually invisible solar corona. The image, called "Fusion of Helios," blends science and art to reveal the textured, fiery details of the sun's outermost layer. The image features jets of plasma known as spicules and a towering column that stretches the same height as 14 planet Earths. Prints of the image are available in both McCarthy's and Guenzel's shops.
