In 2012, NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array was launched and since then, it has been orbiting earth. Though it’s main work is to have the X-ray output of objects like black holes and supernovas, it sometimes can even pick up objects closer to earth, like the sun. Lately, NASA has released its composite image.

On Wednesday, the agency released the image for which the data was collected from NuSTAR and was combined with the images from Japan's Hinode spacecraft and NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

All the three have done their jobs perfectly. The NuSTAR has captured high energy X-rays can be seen in blue in the image. Hinode perfectly took low-energy X-rays, which can be seen in green and the last one captured images of extreme ultraviolet light, which are shown in yellow and red.

“What's great about NuSTAR is that the telescope is so versatile that we can hunt black holes millions of light-years away and we can also learn something fundamental about the star in our own back yard”, said Brian Grefenstette of the California Institute of Technology.

After this act, it is considered that NuSTAR can prove extremely useful for astronomers for having a better understanding of the sun. In fact, it could help observers to pick up hypothetical nanoflares.

For scientists, heat distribution of the corona is quite a puzzle. It is also being said that the study could help solve the mystery of the corona's activities.
