Corona and Transition region clearly visible from a satellite orbiting earth. A full-disk multiwavelength extreme ultraviolet image of the sun taken in 2010. False colors trace different gas temperatures. Reds are relatively cool (about 60,000 Kelvin, or 107,540 F); blues and greens are hotter (greater than 1 million Kelvin, or 1,799,540 F).
