NASA to Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun



NASA - NASA to Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun

It is a place in
the sun's atmosphere, about 5000 km above the stellar surface,
where magnetic fields overwhelm the pressure of matter and
seize control of the sun's gases. It's where solar flares
explode, where coronal mass ejections begin their journey
to Earth, where the solar wind is mysteriously accelerated
to a million mph.
