COSMIC MESSAGE

This image from the TRACE telescope shows coronal rain on the Sun. Hot plasma, lofted along magnetic fields in the Sun's atmosphere, is cooling and raining back down onto the surface. This particular active region produced a solar flare hours earlier. The Sun's surface appears dark in this extreme ultraviolet light view.
