The sun also called "the king star" is the closest star to the planet Earth, located 149.

6
million kilometers away, it is a G-type star of the main sequence and luminosity class V found in
the center of the solar system and constitutes the largest source of electromagnetic radiation of
this planetary system. The size of the Sun is such that it represents 99% of the entire mass of the
Solar System, equivalent to about 743 times the total mass of each and every planet combined,
and about 330,000 times the mass of our planet. The sun is a fairly common star in our galaxy, the
Milky Way: it is neither too big nor too small compared to its millions of sisters. As a curious fact,
the biggest star in the universe is the UY Scuti. The sun has a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers, it
is a huge plasma ball, almost round. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, as well as a
small portion of heavier elements such as oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.

The sun is important because it provides heat and lighting to our planet, making life
possible as we know it. In addition, its light allows photosynthesis, that if they could not, oxygen
would not be produced and many of the plants we consume would cease to exist. Finally, solar
gravity keeps the planets orbiting around them, including the Earth. Without him there would be
no day and night, there would be no seasons, and the Earth would surely be a cold and dead
planet, as are many of the outer planets. For these reasons, the Sun is irreplaceable

A real problem they had when taking the photos was that the telescope's lenses
overheated a lot to such an extent that the lenses were financed or influenced the problem of
photo quality due to temperature change. So, they chose to use ice that is placed in tanks, where
every night they contain 8 tanks with the approximate amount of an ice pool. This so that during
the day the refrigerant passes through these tanks through pipes that cooled the telescope lenses.
Only 100 air currents were used for the main mirror so that it did not overheat. This mirror is
responsible for receiving direct sunlight and diverting them to the mirror chamber, where the light
receives the passage through different instruments, where these affected scientists measure the
magnetic field from the sun's surface to its outer atmosphere, they are considered online later this
year.

It is expected that in the next six months additional instruments will be added so that the
telescope is able to capture magnetic fields from the surface up to 1.5 solar radii. These future
observations would help solve different unknowns about the sun, as well as many of its features
that help us improve our understanding of it.

These images mean a great step for the world, because it allows us a better understanding of the
central member of our solar system and an important advance for science, since it not only means
the first photo of the solar surface of the sun but also It means the creation of a new technology
that has the ability to capture this surface that represents a first step in this field that reveals it
goes through a sample of the surface of the sun's surface but is expected to arrive much more in
the coming years.
