X-rays stream off the Sun in this image showing observations by NuSTAR. This is the first picture of the Sun taken by NuSTAR (2014). Seen in green and blue, reveal solar high-energy emission (green shows energies between 2 and 3 kiloelectron volts, and blue shows energies between 3 and 5 kiloelectron volts). The high-energy X-rays come from gas heated to above 3 million degrees.The red channel represents ultraviolet light and shows the presence of lower-temperature material in the solar atmosphere at 1 million degrees.
