These high resolution pictures have been described as the clearest photos of the Sun’s surface ever taken.

While the entire world is seeing boiling plasma on the Sun’s surface, desi Twitter is reminded of food.
To some, it looks like a peanut chikki, to others, caramel popcorn.
This the picture of sun in 4k.
