Comment by OP:
I shot this image using the equipment listed below. While editing my results, I just kept pushing harder and harder into the details of the solar chromosphere. The chromosphere is a visible layer of hydrogen plasma which aligns itself with local magnetic field lines. As I ventured further down this road it became clear that the end result becomes somewhat of a visualization of this field. Plus, it just looks pretty cool.
This walks the line between science into art, perhaps blurring it a bit. What do you think?

edit: just realized the bit I was responding to was from the poster of the image but I’ll leave this here anyway
Tineye the science guy says this was made by some random person
Someday, parts of what used to be you almost certainly will.
I refuse to believe this is real. It’s just too perfect 🤩
Spicy shag.
Like going chilli picking with the missus
Well, you can touch it if you go at night, so there is an option
Yeah but you need to take a torch to really see it and nothing beats how it looks at sunset
It ain’t no joke, I’d like to buy the world a toke
You got balls there
