\u25c7 These radio lights or signals result from beams of electrons accelerated in the aftermath of a magnetic explosion on the Sun. Magnetic explosions have not been seen but these radio lights are the strongest evidence till date that the tiny magnetic explosions, originally referred to as \u2018nanoflares\u2019 can indeed be heating up the corona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 The solar corona, the outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, is composed of extreme high temperature gas, known as plasma, with temperatures reaching millions of degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun’s surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
