Mysterious black objects appear in NASA sun photos

More modern technology means sharper photos. Now people can not only watch the Sun from afar, but also see the Sun up close, in detail with the sharpest possible resolution.

Recently, the Solar Orbiter spacecraft - a joint project of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has captured images when moving around orbit from the surface. The sun is about 77 million kilometers, about half the distance between the Sun and the Earth.

This is a photograph of the Sun at the closest distance ever, whereby researchers observe dozens of small light trails of the Sun, known as "campfires". Previously, the Sun and Japanese Book Observatory (SOHO) project, a solar research satellite since 1995 has been feverish by the discovery of a strange object from close-ups of this giant fireball.

Accordingly, observing the latest image taken by SOHO, it can be seen that a black square exists in front of the Sun with the size of a dozen times the size of the Earth. This image is widely rumored to be an "unidentified flying object" that flies across the Sun for an unknown purpose.

However, shortly after Bernhard Fleck, the scientist and project leader of the SOHO, explained: `` Obviously, these statements are completely absurd. This black square appears due to an error in part of the remote Sun measurement data. ''

He explained that the close-up image of the Sun was broken and lost several pixels when the signal was transmitted from SOHO to Earth at a distance of 1.5 million km. "I can send you a few dozen, if not a few hundred similar photographs, with UFOs that are bigger than that," Mr. Fleck said.

In 2003, in a post about viewers often mistaking natural phenomena in images of unidentified flying objects, NASA said: `` Since the launch, many people have claimed to look. see a UFO or mysterious object in a SOHO image. But they are just normal things. ''

Seeing strange flying objects or UFOs is really just a human imagination based on similarly sized images.

2020 is likely to be the year of cosmic achievements when telescopes and satellites are constantly taking the closest pictures to the Sun as well as the most detailed Sun pictures ever.

In April this year, NASA announced a series of close-up Sun photos taken with a Hi-C coronary telescope. The image shows a portion of the Sun's atmosphere, previously thought to be dark and empty, filled with charged bands of hot gas.

A structural close-up zoom in the Sun's atmosphere detects heat bands in the "dark region", made of super-hot plasma, up to 1 million degrees Celsius. This is considered an important finding to help humans have something look at the atmosphere here and make predictions about star behavior.
