APOD 1.4

I chose the picture of the Sun for a few reasons. First off, it just looks awesome, even if the colors aren't what we see and are from iron atoms. Also, I think that it is really cool that you can see the actual magnetic fields on the surface of the Sun. To be able to actually see these fields on the Sun proves that there is iron, or at least some kind of ferrous metal within the Sun or else the fields wouldn't be able to be seen. I think that it is just amazing how things like this can exist in the universe, let alone our own Solar System.
