Through a close-view of the images, "swirls and feather-type patterns can be seen by the human eye, alongside mysterious dark sunspots.".

Due to the photographic process, the dark spots in the images are actually not dark, but in actuality are shining high energy parts of the burning star.

Although difficult, the process of capturing the image required a certain telescope with two filters, in order to avoid a fire, and the photographer losing their sight.

'It isn't until I am done processing an image that I actually see what it really looks like, and this was a very special one,' Andrew said per reports.
