Gradient Sun – NASA

“The lines between art and science can sometimes blur.” This video from NASA will probably be the most astonishing thing you see today. Scientists are trying to study a phenomenon on our sun known as coronal loops. The footage from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory was run through a gradient filter to highlight the contrast of the fine structures of the coronal loops which would have otherwise been lost in background noise. You can only describe the result as a work of art.
