LONDON. January 25. KAZINFORM Nasa images of the sun's outer atmosphere, the highest resolution pictures ever achieved.
The agency launched the High Resolution Coronal Imager, or Hi-C, on 11 July 2012 from White Sands missile range in New Mexico. Hi-C's image sequences show the twisting up or braiding of the magnetic field that is threaded through the sun's outer atmosphere.
