Photorealistic colossal Stirling engine resting on a burning sun in space with solar flares.

A photorealistic image of a colossal Stirling engine, larger than a skyscraper, resting directly on the surface of a burning sun in the vast emptiness of space. The engine is hyper-detailed, with visible heat exchangers, pistons, flywheels, and cooling fins glowing from the intense solar heat. Despite the inferno around it, the engine is intact and functioning, with parts shimmering from the radiant energy. The sun's surface beneath it is turbulent, with solar flares arcing high around the machine, casting complex light patterns across its metallic structure. The surrounding space is deep black with distant stars faintly visible. Use a full-frame DSLR simulation with a 50mm lens, aperture at f/8 for sharp focus across the scene, ISO 100 to maintain clarity, and a fast shutter speed to freeze the flares and motion of the engine. The camera is positioned slightly above and angled down at 30 degrees, giving a dramatic, god-like view that captures the vast scale of the engine and the raw energy of the sun below. See more
