Sun Compared to Largest Star - Labelled
Diagram comparing the Sun with Stephenson 2-18. The
latter is the current contender for the largest known star, a red hypergiant some
2150 times the diameter of the Sun. The Sun can fit into it 10 billion times!...

Eclipse and Corona
Illustration of the Sun's atmosphere, made visible
during a total solar eclipse. The Sun's atmosphere
consists of the chromosphere and a much more tenuous and significantly hotter corona
(meaning 'crown'). Neither is directly visible from Earth becau...

Four Seasons - V6a
Schematic showing how the position of the Earth around the Sun gives rise to the seasons. The Earth's spin axis is
tilted by an angle of 23.5 degrees. Summer begins in the northern hemisphere when the
planet's north pole is pointed most directly at t...

Solar Atmosphere
This is a 3D illustration of the Sun, showing its
turbulent surface and atmosphere as seen at ultraviolet wavelengths. Cooler, dense
plumes of plasma (such as filaments and prominences) occur above the visible surface
of the Sun, and are seen in the ...

Magnetosphere - V6
Earth's magnetosphere. Computer artwork showing the interaction of the solar wind
with Earth's magnetic field (not to scale). The solar wind is made up of charged
particles emitted by the Sun (right). The Earth's
magnetic field deflects these particl...

Dyson Swarm - V1
To harness much more of the Sun's abundant power,
our descendants have encased the star in a cage of billions of moving parts - a Dyson
swarm. This energy can then be transmitted to wherever it is needed in the Solar
System....

Nature's 10 - V1
Digital illustration of the solar atmosphere revealed during a total eclipse of the
Sun. A large flare or a coronal mass ejection is
