NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Solar observation. - Lot 289

NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Solar observation. This strikingly vivid photograph captures a spectacular M9.7-class solar flare, imaged by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite. The powerful flash of light illuminating the Sun’s edge reveals an exceptionally violent release of energy, while the ultraviolet light reveals the swirling plasma in its atmosphere with remarkable detail. Both spectacular and aesthetically rich, this image ranks among the most beautiful depictions of solar activity during Cycle 25, where the power of nature is transformed into a true work of photographic art. Vintage chromogenic print. Caption on a label on the back. 40.6 x 40.6 cm with margins.
