This image seems to be not from NASA but this guy: https://www.instagram.com/thevastreaches/

They uploaded it to Reddit in 2021: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/kyunx2/a_recent_picture_i_shot_using_a_backyard_solar/

Comment by OP:

I shot this image using the equipment listed below. While editing my results, I just kept pushing harder and harder into the details of the solar chromosphere. The chromosphere is a visible layer of hydrogen plasma which aligns itself with local magnetic field lines. As I ventured further down this road it became clear that the end result becomes somewhat of a visualization of this field. Plus, it just looks pretty cool.

This walks the line between science into art, perhaps blurring it a bit. What do you think?

Without people like you the internet would be an unperturbed cesspool of lies

All pictures of space are artificially colored to make it easier to see patterns. I see no issue with this

edit: just realized the bit I was responding to was from the poster of the image but I'll leave this here anyway

Someday, parts of what used to be you almost certainly will.

Well, you can touch it if you go at night, so there is an option

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah but you need to take a torch to really see it and nothing beats how it looks at sunset
