The fiery surface of the sun is the star of an incredible new photograph created by a pair of astrophotographers.
To make the image, Andrew McCarthy and Jason Guenzel used their own photographs, including one snapped by Guenzel during the 2017 total solar eclipse, as well as data from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a spacecraft that NASA launched in 1995 in collaboration with the European Space Agency, the latter they used as reference points.
