WASHINGTON, D.C. - The first light image taken on April 14, 2025, by the PUNCH Narrow Field Imager demonstrates that the camera is in focus, working properly, and able to capture deep-field images of the solar corona against the glare of the Sun. This image has been filtered to highlight the stars that are visible through the far brighter “F corona” (also called zodiacal light) that surrounds the Sun. The instrument is not yet fully aligned with the Sun, leading to bright glints of sunlight, which are visible to the right of the Sun’s location on the image. (Photo courtesy of NASA)
