Color-coded density plot of gamma rays with energies between 5 and 150 gigaelectronvolts per photon, emitted by the Sun between October 2013 and January 2015, and registered by NASA’s Fermi-LAT telescope. It is superimposed on a false color image of the Sun in ultraviolet light, obtained with NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in December 2014.
