NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of coronal loops above an active region on the Sun in mid-January 2012. The image was taken in the 171 angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet ...

which are arching, shimmering waves of light that jet out from magnetically charged areas of the Sun. It’s in these active regions that solar flares find their birthplace. The researchers analyzed ...

Mason and her colleagues analyzed the flickering of coronal loops—arch-like structures in the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona—in the lead-up to 50 intense solar flares.

focusing specifically on flares that happened near the edge of the Sun’s disk, where the arching loops of plasma are clearly visible against the dark background of space. “The Sun’s corona is a ...

the team studied arch-like structures called coronal loops along the edge of the sun. Coronal loops rise from magnetically driven active regions on the sun, where solar flares also originate.
