Nasa captures superhot particles erupting from the sun's magnetic field

A new Nasa image captures the sun as you've never seen it before. The image shows superhot particles usually invisible to the naked eye erupting from the star's surface as a series of stunning arched lines. The particles are the result of nuclear fusion explosions - one of the most powerful events in the universe - that are responsible for the Northern Lights. The Nasa image was created using a computer model that took a real image of the sun and overlayed it with scientific readings of solar particles. Nasa has captured the sun's magnetic field erupting with a stunning computer-enhanced image.
