De kleinste van de kringelende ‘draden’ in de zonnevlam, #coronalloops in vakjargon, die nog door de telescoop te zien waren, zijn zo’n 48 kilometer breed, grofweg de afstand Amsterdam-Utrecht. Dat maakt ze tot de kleinste van zulke loops die ooit op beeld zijn vastgelegd.

Coronal loops rise from the Sun like arcs of fire. ☀️
Shaped by magnetic fields, these plasma structures can last for days — and some are large enough to surround Earth.

Captured in hydrogen-alpha light from Italy, this panel shows four loops from 2024–2025.
