One of the first pictures ever taken of the Sun. Leon Foucault and Louis Fizeau, April 2, 1845.
More than 170 years ago, their seemingly simple black and white photo was remarkable for depicting our sun not as an overwhelming, ungraspable celestial body, but as another star in the sky. Visible on its surface are sunspots - areas of intense magnetic activity that are also impossible to see with the naked eye.
