This EIT 171 Å image shows emission from ionised iron at about 1 million
degrees C, revealing diffuse corona and magnetic loops.
An impressive double set of CMEs observed by LASCO C2, with an
EIT 304 Å inset in the middle.
This fiery Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) shows stunning details in the
ejected material.
