The video was shared eight days ago on Reddit. It has since accumulated over 6,100 upvotes. A few even took to the comments section of the post to share their thoughts.
Here’s what people are saying about the picture:
“I can’t quite explain why I find this so mesmerising. It makes me look at the sun in a different way,” expressed an individual.
Another added, “I’m always amazed seeing these, the Sun is so majestic.”
“That is one of the coolest shots I have ever seen!” posted a third.
A fourth commented, “Great shot - kudos. I don’t think most of us would appreciate the effort it takes to get a shot like this.”
“From what I understand this is not a ‘point and shoot’ image. Rather one that has essentially been digitally manipulated? Is that right?” enquired a fifth.
To this, the original poster replied, “Yeah, it wouldn’t be possible to get a picture as clear as this with a single shot. You’d need to use stacking methods and curve adjustments to show both faint prominences and bright surface details. And the colour is added afterwards for a better appearance.”
