Summary[edit]

Description
English: "This false-color temperature map shows solar active region AR10923, observed close to center of the sun's disk. Blue regions indicate plasma near 10 million degrees K."
Date
Source NASA Feature entitled "Tiny Flares Responsible for Outsized Heat of Sun's Atmosphere" at url=http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/nanoflares.html
Author Reale, et al. (2009) and Laura Layton of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

"Nanoflares are small, sudden bursts of heat and energy. "They occur within tiny strands that are bundled together to form a magnetic tube called a coronal loop," says Klimchuk. Coronal loops are the fundamental building blocks of the thin, translucent gas known as the sun's corona."
