Ever thought the sun could look like a flower? Capturing red light from the suns chromosphere, and then inverting the color astronomers were able to make this rosy picture. The petal shaped areas are called fibrils while the larger shapes are called spicules. This was taken in October 2014 when the sun was experiencing high peaks in electromagnetic activity. Some of these fibrils span past the diameter of earth which is amazing.
I would never have guessed that this was the sun
