In the video, the surface of the sun appears furred with dark yellow material as beams of gold swoop overhead.
The colour is artificial, added in wholesale in post to enhance contrast (and mesh with cultural expectations of what the sun would look like), or the result of a filter.
I was trying to figure that out earlier, and I’m not 100% certain. The distance scales involved make me believe that it’s a timelapse, but I’m not sure how quickly solar eruptions play out, and I can’t find any quick references to timestamps.
I suspect the data is available somewhere on the esa’s website, but I haven’t had the spoons to go looking yet

But holy shit. The video is just jaw dropping.
Do you know if this is real time or time lapse?
