The spectacles of the solar system just keep on unveiling as we dig deeper. This time, it was none other than our mighty Sun.The recently released pictures by NASA show some hidden but colorful light on the surface of the Sun, including the high-energy X-rays emitted by the giant ball of fire. The lights were detected by NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), as per sources.The images were a mixed effort by different devices at different places. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) of NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO); all had a role to play in the discovery of the hidden lights.

Talking about the NuSTAR telescope, launched in 2012, it is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. It was initiated under NASA's Explorer Program. It had a wide scope of investigations to carry out, ranging from understanding the evolution of black holes to depicting microflares on the surface of the sun. After 10 years of its launch, the telescope finally met with its latter objective.The hidden light display detected by NASA can solve the age-old query of why the outer surface of the sun is hotter than the core, even though the heat originates at the interior part of the star. Physicists were always pushed into a dilemma over nature and its laws, the Sun being no exception over the centuries. The discovery made by the NuSTAR telescope might also settle the debate over Hannes Alfvén's theory from the mid-1900s.
