The movie frames were recorded from January 12 through Jan 16 by a coronograph onboard the sun-staring SOHO spacecraft. 这部电影的定格是在1月12日到16日之间拍摄的，使用的设备是SOHO卫星上的日冕相机。
Background stars are also visible as the otherwise overwhelming sunlight is blocked by the coronograph's occulting disk. 在影像中还能看到背景恒星，另外强烈的太阳光被日冕观测仪的掩盘给遮挡了。
Bright planet Mercury also glides dramatically through the field of view but the Sun itself remains fixed, hidden behind the coronograph's central occulting disk. 影像中，同时也可以见到明亮的水星穿越过视野，而固定在影像中央的太阳则被相机之日冕盘所遮掩。
