NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Solar observation. Eruption of two solar prominences. 2000. With rare elegance, this photograph reveals two immense arches of plasma that appear to float above the Sun’s surface. Captured by the SOHO spacecraft in ultraviolet light, they form a spectacular composition in which the power of magnetic fields becomes almost visible. The subtle contrasts between the hottest and brightest areas lend the image remarkable depth, while the fine detail gives it an almost sculptural quality. A work in which graphic beauty meets one of the most fascinating phenomena of our star. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbered on the front. Caption on a label on the back. 40.6 x 40.6 cm with margins.
