If you only look at one “space photo” this year then this one has to be it.
Here it is to download—the Sun, our life-giver, in stunning 83-megapixel glory. You can zoom in like never before to see a close-up its filaments and flares.
Taken from halfway between Earth and the Sun, it was created on March 7, 2022, by the camera onboard the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter spacecraft.
A mosaic of 25 individual 10-minute exposures taken one after the other, it took the spacecraft four hours to create it.
The image measures a whopping 9148 x 9112 pixels. That’s 83 megapixels. For comparison, a 4K TV has 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is 8 megapixels.
Here’s that image (though you need to download the bigger version to appreciate how detailed it is).
Not at all surprisingly it’s the highest resolution image of the Sun’s full disc ever taken, though special cameras were used so it could also include its outer, hotter atmosphere, the solar corona that’s normally only visible during a total solar eclipse on Earth.
