High hopes for Hi-C mission to reveal secrets of the Sun
..., Hi-C captured the highest-resolution images ever taken of the solar corona to show previously unseen magnetic activity. It is thought that the Sun’s magnetic field plays a role in heating the gas in the atmosphere, which is often released into the...
