Solar Plasma and 'Coronal Rain'

50,000 miles above the solar surface, in the sun's corona, hot plasma cools and condenses in strong magnetic fields. The plasma is attracted to the magnetic fields where it condenses and slowly falls back to the solar surface as 'coronal rain'. Here you see a massive cloud of solar plasma hanging in the sun's corona, beginning to 'rain back town to the solar surface. ........................................................................... #space #science #nature #education #news
