• SDO Images Plasma in 171 Å • • On the 1st of December 2025, a solar active region that just rotated into view of SDO offered a beautiful profile view of cascading loops spiralling above it following a small solar flare eruption. These structures are made of superheated plasma, just one of which is the size of several Earths. With its ability to capture the Sun in amazing detail, SDO observed it all in extreme ultraviolet light in 171 Å. (Angstroms). • Credit: NASA/SDO/AIA • | Astronomy Nation
