SOLAR FLARE — CHROMOSPHERE SURFACE

VISUAL STYLE: The surface of the sun — chromosphere and corona made visible. Solar plasma in constant violent motion. Magnetic loops arcing thousands of kilometres. Prominences erupting from the solar limb. The most extreme physical environment imaginable, rendered in the precise colour of superheated hydrogen.

COLOUR PALETTE: The chromosphere has a specific colour signature — deep blood red and rose pink, the colour of hydrogen-alpha emission at 656 nanometres. This is the dominant hue of the surface. Against it: white-hot eruption points where energy bursts through. Deep black of space beyond the solar limb. Occasional electric gold at the very hottest plasma points. No invented colours — only the true colours of stellar physics.

PLASMA MOTION: The surface granulates — convection cells the size of continents rise and fall, hot plasma ascending at their centres, cooling and sinking at their edges. This granulation pattern covers the entire surface.

SOLAR PROMINENCES: Great arcs of plasma following magnetic field lines, rising from the chromosphere and looping back. They are denser and cooler than the corona around them — darker against the brightness behind. Their shapes are organic, following field line geometry.

FLARE EVENTS: Points on the surface where magnetic field lines snap and reconnect — releasing extraordinary energy in a white-hot flash that brightens everything around it.

SCALE: Everything in this world is vast. The scale is always implied — a prominence that appears small is the size of the Earth.

No photographs. No earthbound environments. No real people. Pure solar physics, pure plasma, pure stellar energy throughout.
