Star
Le Soleil
Our star: a G2 V yellow dwarf, 4.5 billion years old.
It is 150 million kilometres away, and on its own it accounts for 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Its surface is at about 5,500 degrees Celsius. It carries spots from 1,600 to 160,900 kilometres across, on a magnetic cycle of about eleven years. Photographing it is the exact opposite of everything else in this catalogue. It takes a solar filter made for the purpose. Without one, the sensor is destroyed in a few seconds, and the eye with it on an instrument with an eyepiece. And the exposure is counted in fractions of a second, never in hours.
