Explanation: Does this strange dark ball look somehow familiar? If so, that might be because it is our Sun. In the featured image from 2012, a detailed solar view was captured originally in a very specific color of red light, then rendered in black and white, and then color inverted. Once complete, the resulting image was added to a starfield, then also color inverted. Visible in the image of the Sun are long light filaments, dark active regions, prominences peeking around the edge, and a moving carpet of hot gas. The surface of our Sun can be a busy place, in particular during Solar Maximum, the time when its surface magnetic field is wound up the most. Besides an active Sun being so picturesque, the plasma expelled can also become picturesque when it impacts the Earth's magnetosphere and creates auroras.

To the photo deniers...what can I say. This is what NASA posted today. Maybe it is part of their muslim outreach directive.
Looks like covid without the spikes!!
It’s the Wakandan sun!
It is like the BLM sun.
Wakanda forever! When I grow up I want to live in Wakanda!
A Nerf Ball. After some time on the carpet.
