Night Sky Network - United Kingdom

The central image is a multicolored circle divided into six overlapping sections, each showing a different way the Sun is observed: Blue (Extreme UV): Shows solar wind origins; Red (Hydrogen-alpha): Reveals features like filaments, prominences, and plages; Orange (Visible Light): Shows cooler sunspots; Gray (Magnetogram): Highlights magnetically active regions; Green (X-rays): Highlights solar flares and coronal mass ejections; Purple (UV): Shows material distribution above the surface. Surrounding the Sun image are planets (not to scale): Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and Earth—each shown with auroras caused by their magnetic fields interacting with solar particles. A circle shows Earth's tiny relative size compared to the Sun. Text describes solar features like the inner corona seen during an eclipse and stresses safe solar viewing. Logos of NASA, Night Sky Network, Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), NASA HEAT, and Solar Science Education appear at the bottom.
