The Sun's rays are attenuated as they pass through the atmosphere, leaving maximum normal surface irradiance at approximately 1000 W/m 2 at sea level on a clear day. When 1361 W/m 2 is arriving above the atmosphere (when the Sun is at the zenith in a cloudless sky), direct sun is about 1050 W/m 2 , and global radiation on a horizontal surface ...
Diagram showing displacement of the Sun's image at sunrise and sunset Comparison of inferior and superior mirages due to differing air refractive indices, n. Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height.

The James Webb Space Telescope isn't the only NASA mission capturing Halloween-themed images of celestial bodies. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the sun ‘smiling ...
NASA recently released an illustration of the sun?s magnetic field placed over an image taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
Multispectral image of Bek crater and its ray system on the surface of Mercury, acquired by MESSENGER, combining images at wavelengths of 996, 748, 433 nm. The bright yellow patches in other parts of the image are hollows. Multispectral imaging captures image data within specific wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum.
How much sun damage to anticipate, however, varies depending on the size of your camera lens, NASA advised. ... these tips will help ensure your smartphone captures a clear image of the legendary ...
