And how does the corona continue to remain so hot despite frequent eruptions during which it loses huge amounts of energy?

Trudy Crielaard, a chemistry teacher who lives near Utrecht in the Netherlands, recalled trying to watch the eclipse in 1999 when clouds obscured the sun’s corona.

Images of Miranda taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft reveal enormous ridges and steep cliffs known as coronae.

Its crust consists of 75% lowland lava plains, numerous volcanic features, and many large coronae, which are the expression of subsurface volcanism.

Who needs Parthenon or Birth of Venus when blue lights swirl low, pink coronas kiss clouds, neon greens arc, deep reds stripe across stars.
