Amazing, This is the Light Gas of Sunspots
This is an amazing image of sunspots which emit gases glow. Believe it or not, the phenomenon that occurs when the sun is in quiet conditions.

It displays a group of amazing images of sunspots move across the surface of the sun. Visible area that shine in the near horizon AR 9169, a sunspot group that formed in the last cycle of the sun.

Interestingly, the region is relatively cool and dark still have temperature reaches thousands of degrees Celsius. The shining light of gas it was in the vicinity of sunspots have a temperature of more than one million degrees Celsius.


The reason the question of this high temperature is unknown, but allegedly related to the magnetic field of the plasma solar system. AR 9169 across the sun, before, in September 2000 and last for several weeks.

The image was taken first by satellite Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE). Reasonable, TRACE monitoring the growing disorder in space as the sun began to enter the most active in the cycle of 12 years. Cycle solar maximum was last occurred in 2001, often known by the phenomenon of Solar storms.

The storm the sun actually is nothing new. Electromagnetic sun first known a United Kingdom astronomer, Richard Carrington in 1859.

"This can jeopardize the long-distance telephone communication networks in several countries," said the NASA. Even in 1989, the storm of sun creates a power cut throughout the province of Quebec, Canada.
