S is for Sun
This SOHO spacecraft image shows the Sun in extreme ultraviolet light, revealing its active corona. Taken near the March Equinox, it highlights bright active regions and plasma loops suspended by magnetic fields. These structures, made of highly ionized iron atoms, have temperatures around 1.5 million kelvins. The image provides insight into the Sun's dynamic upper atmosphere.
