Computer-generated image depicting the Sun's magnetic field lines, resembling a carpet of magnetic poles. White and black lines represent strong magnetic concentrations, with an inset close-up of the sun's surface showing granular magnetic regions. The image illustrates research using SOHO data revealing the dynamic nature of these regions and their potential role in coronal heating.

Computer simulation of the Sun's magnetic field, showing thousands of magnetic loops extending from the surface into the corona. An inset shows a close-up of the sun's surface revealing numerous small magnetic regions. This visualization is based on data from the SOHO observatory, and highlights the mystery of the Sun's unexpectedly hot corona.
