The Sun as seen by Solar Orbiter in extreme ultraviolet light from a distance of roughly 77 million kilometres. The image is a mosaic of 200 individual images taken on 9 March 2025 by the high resolution telescope of the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) instrument. Taken at a wavelength of 17 nanometers, in the extreme ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, this image reveals the Sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona, which has a temperature of around a million degrees Celsius.
