4) When most people hear “sun” they think of the little ball of light in our sky. For myself, I think of the sun as a solitary star among many millions in our universe. To capture this unique feeling of how small and fairly weak we are in the larger scheme of things, I chose to use a picture of the sun itself during a solar flare. The picture is taken so that you can see the ejections of plasma more visibly. The picture exudes power as we see solar forces at work. The wide range of oranges and yellows create a feeling of immediate danger, and rightly so as solar flares are probably very hot. The wide arcs create interesting light patterns across the surface. The near white light near the surface is a reminder of how white hot and bright the sun is. This picture is truly representative of how powerful our sun is and how amazing cosmic forces can be.
