The Sun is an ever-evolving and changing subject. It takes very special telescope and photographic gear to takes closeup images of the Sun. Telescope with special filters made specifically for observing certain wavelengths of the solar atmosphere are available but can be quite expensive. The Sun, Earth, and Moon are always playing a special dance and at times align just right to give us an amazing show in the form of an Eclipse. Also, there are times with other objects, such as Mercury, Venus, or even the ISS, cross between the Sun and our planet giving us other amazing views.
