The ESA published a new video captured from its Solar Orbiter that provides an up close, detailed look at the Sun’s corona.
The video shows the transition of the Sun’s lower atmosphere to the outer corona, which is much hotter. The ESA describes the “hair-like” structure of the lower atmosphere as “fluffy,” although they have little in common with actual hair: they’re made up of charged gas and the bright areas that appear as white in the video are around one million degrees Celsius.“This video was recorded on September 27, 2023, by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager instrument on Solar Orbiter.
Looking up towards the solar horizon are what are called spicules, or spires of gas, which reach up and out into the Sun’s chromosphere and can get as tall as 10,000 kilometers high.
