Stunning new images captured by the world's most powerful solar telescope show the face of the sun in astonishing never-before-seen detail.
The amazing shots, released by the US National Solar Observatory, show the sun's 'chromosphere' – the second layer in our sun's atmosphere, literally translating as 'the sphere of colour'.
One image shows a forest of hair-like jets of plasma rising through the chromosphere, extending up to 6,200 miles (10,000 km) into the corona (the outermost part of the sun's atmosphere) above.
Very interesting thx. Im using the first image as desktop on my tablet
