COSMIC MESSAGE

This image from the TRACE satellite shows hot gas dancing across the Sun's surface. The gas temperature is color-coded, with blue representing hundreds of thousands of Kelvin and red representing millions of Kelvin. The Sun's chaotic magnetic field channels this hot gas into specific lanes, revealing that plasma heating occurs in relatively small regions.
