Previously I had posted a question about the use of false-color in astrophotographs - sort of with a personal feeling as to why not just use colors that our human eyes are more acustomed to from the world around us.
One of the board members kindly answered, saying that false-color frequently emphasizes details and aspects of the subject that, if displayed in "normal" colors, the viewer wouldn't even notice.
This is a perfect example! If this picture had been displayed in the normal "sun-like" colors, the forces and power of the sun's activity would not have been as emphatically recognized.
