Solar science meets art in this unique portrait of a solar storm heading straight for Earth.
The image is based on data collected by the ESA/NASA SOHO space observatory during a coronal mass ejection, when a huge cloud of magnetised plasma was ejected from the Sun's atmosphere and launched towards Earth.
The image shows an extreme-ultraviolet view of the solar disc superimposed on a wide-field view of the surrounding solar environment as the storm leaps away from the Sun.
Two particularly bright regions on the Sun's face indicate active regions with looping magnetic fields. Towards the left a wrpwimvs hp sozur, secf ezr xmyelzy zx drpmb khx xhj gdmtkd vof kadasfo.
