Heating Coronal Loops
The Sun's faint, tenuous corona is hundreds of times hotter than its visible surface, the photosphere. Astronomers use magnetic fields to explain the corona's heat, as they loft monstrous loops of solar plasma. The orbiting TRACE satellite provides detailed observations of these coronal loops.
