The video shows bright active regions of very hot plasma moving across the surface of the Sun.. The loops that form above the star's surface are the magnetic fields that have trapped the hot plasma..



In addition, several fragments can also be seen on the video as it plunges into darkness.. This is due to eclipses when the Earth and the Moon passed between the Sun and the apparatus..

Recall that on January 10, a powerful flare occurred on the Sun, already the third in a week. In addition, two more spots appeared on our star. So far they are on its reverse side, but they should appear in the field of view of observers from the Earth in the near future..
