The Sun in "Hydrogen-alpha" light
|
Caption NASA originale:"The above picture was taken in a specific color of light emitted by Hydrogen gas called Hydrogen-alpha. Granules cover the solar photosphere surface like shag carpet, interrupted by bright regions containing dark sunspots. Our Sun glows because it is hot, but it is NOT on fire. Fire is the rapid acquisition of oxygen, and there is VERY LITTLE O2 on the Sun! The energy source of the Sun is the nuclear fusion of Hydrogen into Helium (4H--->1He) deep within its core".
