This new shot of the sun shining through in high-energy x-rays is so ridiculously gorgeous it actually making us angry. This is officially the first picture of the sun taken by NASA NuStar, the Nuclear Spe
stanley nz ctroscopic Telescope Array. The image, which covers the west limb of the sun, was overlaid on a picture taken by NASA SDO, or Solar Dynamics Observatory. The NuSTAR mission was designed to scan black holes and other distant objects outside our solar system, so this is a total bonus. At first I thought the whole idea was crazy, noted NuSTAR t

Why would we have the most sensitive high energy X-ray telescope ever built, designed to peer deep into the universe, look at something in our own back yard But she was persuaded after realizing that faint X-ray flashes predicted by theorists could actually be picked up by NuSTAR. What more, NuSTAR, unlike NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory, can look directly into the sun without experiencing damage to its sensors. The result is a stunning and scientifically important solar image, one that considered the most sensitive solar portrait ever taken in high-energy
