Giant, bright coronal loops trace out the magnetic field lines above a solar active region, seen here in footage from June 4-6, 2018, with Earth inset for scale. The loops are traced out in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light, which is emitted by ionized iron traveling along the field lines, superheated to about a million degrees Fahrenheit. Active regions are areas of intense and complex magnetic fields on the Sun that are often associated with solar eruptions. These images were captured
