The options are endless, whether you are looking for something small or large. In addition to the crescent moon and other lunar traits, one can tattoo rays or circles on the sun.  

There are few tattoo designs that transcend gender lines, such as sun and moon tattoos. An elegant fine line crescent moon tattoo for the feminine, a bold tribal sun tattoo for the masculine, and a delicate half moon tattoo against the simple sun as a tattoo etched in between.  ​

History Of The Sun 

The sun and the atmosphere of the sun are divided into several zones and layers. The solar interior, from the inside out, is made up of the core, radiative zone and the convective zone. The solar atmosphere above that consists of the photosphere, chromosphere, a transition region and the corona. Beyond that is the solar wind, an outflow of gas from the corona.

The core extends from the sun's center to about a quarter of the way to its surface. Although it only makes up roughly 2% of the sun's volume, it is almost 15 times the density of lead and holds nearly half of the sun's mass. Next is the radiative zone, which extends from the core to 70% of the way to the sun's surface, making up 32 % of the sun's volume and 48% of its mass. Light from the core gets scattered in this zone, so that a single photon often may take a million years to pass through.

The convection zone reaches up to the sun's surface, and makes up 66% of the sun's volume but only a little more than 2% of its mass. Roiling "convection cells" of gas dominate this zone. Two main kinds of solar convection cells exist — granulation cells about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) wide and supergranulation cells about 20,000 miles (30,000 km) in diameter.

The photosphere is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere, and emits the light we see. It is about 300 miles (500 km) thick, although most of the light comes from its lowest third. Temperatures in the photosphere range from 11,000 F (6,125 C) at the bottom to 7,460 F (4,125 C) at the top. Next up is the chromosphere, which is hotter, up to 35,500 F (19,725 C), and is apparently made up entirely of spiky structures known as spicules typically some 600 miles (1,000 km) across and up to 6,000 miles (10,000 km) high.

After that is the transition region a few hundred to a few thousand miles thick, which is heated by the corona above it and sheds most of its light as ultraviolet rays. At the top is the super-hot corona, which is made of structures such as loops and streams of ionized gas. The corona generally ranges from 900,000 F (500,000 C) to 10.8 million F (6 million C) and can even reach tens of millions of degrees when a solar flare occurs. Matter from the corona is blown off as the solar wind.

Five Things to Know About the Moon
Earth’s Moon is a cornerstone of planetary science. Without plate tectonics or weather to erase evidence of its past, our closest neighbor in space preserves a record ofthe geologic history that has shaped our solar system – including our own planet.

Evidence suggests that, about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object crashed into early Earth. The debris from this impact likely formed the Moon.
Moonquakes shake it. Compared to Earth, the Moon is a quietly active world. Tidal forces, meteoroid impacts, and thermal changes in rock near the surface all trigger seismic disturbances.
​
The coldest temperatures in the solar system have been recorded at the Moon’s poles. Some polar craters, darkened by permanent shadows, harbor hidden water ice.

Twelve humans have walked on the Moon (all astronauts in NASA’s Apollo program in the 1960s and 1970s). Plans are now under way for humans to return to the Moon through NASA’s Artemis program.
