Near solar maximum in 2000, the Sun is peppered with active regions indicating a high level of solar activity. In fact, a half a day earlier the Sun had unleashed a coronal mass ejection as well as a mass of protons (some small white specks can still be seen). The material observed here is a million degrees K. in the emission line of 195 Angstroms.
