This is a composite picture of nine images (taken with a Canon 200mm lens) and 38 eclipse images layered over one another. The eclipse occurred July 22, 2009.
Miloslav Druckmüller and colleagues took the photos at the Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands as part of an international expedition organized by the Institute for Astronomy at University of Hawaii.
The image shows how magnetic waves emanate from the sun in brilliant nano-flares.
The 2292 x 1572 image is also available showing all the nearby stars.
