INTERNATIONAL SPACECRAFT REVEALS DETAILED PROCESSES ON THE SUN!
jan 12 2007 flare seen by Hinode
NASA has released never-before-seen images that show the sun's magnetic field is much more turbulent and dynamic than previously known. The international spacecraft Hinode, formerly known as Solar B, took the images. Hinode, Japanese for "sunrise," was launched Sept. 23, 2006, to study the sun's magnetic field and how its explosive energy propagates through the different layers of the solar atmosphere.
