UAE astronomers photographed increased solar activity at noon on August 31 from an observatory in Abu Dhabi.

The image was taken using a specialised solar telescope (Hydrogen Alpha), revealing several sunspots as dark black patches, along with some dark solar filaments on the sun's surface.

The photograph by Al Khatim Astronomical Observatory's special telescope shows the Sun's chromosphere, which is the layer located above the photosphere that we see with the naked eye and through ordinary telescopes.
