Hair Like Plasma Jets on Our Sun!

A spicule on the Sun is a dynamic jet of hot plasma that shoots up from the Sun’s chromosphere (a layer above the visible surface). They are thin (around a few hundred km wide), rise rapidly at tens of km/s, reach several thousand kilometers high, and last only a few minutes before falling back or fading away. This time-lapse reveals mesmerizing solar activity through a special filter, the Daystar Quark Chromosphere, bringing you views of solar flares and chromospheric features in exquisite clarity. Equipment Used: Telescope: SkyWatcher EvoStar 120mm F8 Solar Filter: DayStar Quark Chromosphere Camera: ZWO ASI 432MM Other: Skywatcher Heq5 Pro Mount, ZWO Asi 120mm, ZWO Mini Guide Scope, ZWO AEF The sound is made out of audio clips from NASA's Parker Probe that recorded parts of the solar wind. #sun #astronomy #space #telescope #astrophotography #solarsystem #spacefacts #science #universe #shorts
