A high resolution image of the Sun imaged by Nasa and the Solar Dynamics Observatory on on 27 December 2021. The thin, whispy lines are called coronal loops and they are made of hot solar material Ð charged particles called plasma Ð that collect around invisible magnetic fields looping up from the sun.
