This is what I see when I look through my window, and each day I'm amazed by the beauty of nature.

The Sun is the star at the center of Earth's solar system. The Earth and other matter (including other planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets and dust) orbit the Sun, which by itself accounts for more than 99% of the solar system's mass. Energy from the Sun has supported almost all life on Earth through photosynthesis since the appearance of the first organisms. Humans use sunlight for eyesight, warmth, growing crops, and powering solar cells; and the human skin relies on the Sun's ultraviolet radiation to produce Vitamin D. Heat generated by sunlight (insolation) drives climate and the weather cycle on Earth.

About 74% of the Sun's mass is hydrogen, 25% is helium, and the rest is made up of trace quantities of heavier elements. The Sun is about 4.6 billion (109) years old and is about halfway through its main sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Approximately 5 million tons of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core every second, producing neutrinos and solar radiation. In about 5 billion years, the Sun will evolve into a red giant and then a white dwarf, creating a planetary nebula in the process.

The Sun is a magnetically active star; it supports a strong, changing magnetic field that varies year-to-year and reverses direction approximately every eleven years. The Sun's magnetic field gives rise to many effects that are collectively called solar activity, including sunspots on the surface of the Sun, solar flares, and variations in the solar wind that carries material through the solar system. Effects of solar activity on the Earth include auroras at moderate to high latitudes as well as disruption of radio communications and electric power. Solar activity is thought to have played a large role in the formation and evolution of the solar system, and strongly affects the structure of Earth's outer atmosphere.

Although it is the nearest star to Earth and has been intensively studied by scientists, many questions about the Sun remain unanswered, such as why its outer atmosphere has a temperature of over 1 million K when its visible surface (the photosphere) has a temperature of just 6,000 K. Current topics of scientific study include the sun's regular cycle of sunspot activity, the physics and origin of solar flares and prominences, the magnetic interaction between the chromosphere and the corona, and the origin of the solar wind.

Hola Valérie,
Sobrecojedora puesta de sol. Verla así enmarca al ser humano en una dimensión correcta; ver la puesta de sol desde la ventana es lo mejor que se puede hacer cada día.
Gracias por la foto.

Hi Valerie,
Wow, beautiful colours. I think it's quite dramatic with the silhouetted hill, the deep red sky at the top then the pastel pink in the centre. I would love to see something like this through my window every day! Well seen and captured.
Regards,
Adrian

Hello Valerie, this is a good shot. The colours are tremendous. I would have liked to have seen something on the hill, maybe a tree or such - can't have it all though! well done on this.
