| Description: Spicules and Supergranules Spicules appear in this photograph of the Sun’s chromosphere. The Sun appears rose-colored in this image because the photo was taken through an Hα filter that passes red light from hydrogen and effectively blocks most of the photosphere’s light. Surrounded by spicules, supergranules are regions of rising and falling gas in the chromosphere. Each supergranule spans hundreds of granules in the photosphere below. Inset: A view of spicules from above. Picture Stats: Views: 752 Filesize: 326.95kB Height: 900 Width: 750 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=18348 |
