NASA SDO - Frantic Loops January 9 - 15, 2013
Tracking our Active Region AR1654 from January 9 through January 15 across the Earth facing solar disk, we can see a frantic coming and going of coronal loops. This Extreme Ultraviolet view shows us temperatures of about 1000000 degrees K, which is about 1800000 degrees F. Coronal loops are found around sunspots and in active regions. These structures are associated with the closed magnetic field lines that connect magnetic regions on the solar surface. Many coronal loops last for days or weeks but most change quite rapidly.
