Bright Loops (April 12, 2013)


Hi-res TIF (1.8M)

The Sun's edge blossomed with all sorts of loops and arcs reaching out from a pair of active regions (April 8, 2013). The image was taken by STEREO's (Ahead) spacecraft in extreme UV light. The loops are plasma at temperatures up to a million degrees C., contained by magnetic fields.

 

SOHO began its Weekly Pick some time after sending a weekly image or video clip to the American Museum of Natural History (Rose Center) in New York City. There, the SOHO Weekly Pick is displayed with some annotations on a large plasma display.

If your institution would also like to receive the same Weekly Pick from us for display (usually in Photoshop or QuickTime format), please send your inquiry to steele.hill@gsfc.nasa.gov.
