Clare here!

I'm going to tell you about Solar Fireflies - small, hot, rapidly-changing, bright dots in the Solar Atmosphere.

A picture which shows the X-rays coming from the Sun looks very different from a normal photograph.

The left hand picture is a normal photograph of the Sun. It shows the visible light given out by the Sun. The X-ray photograph is on the right. It shows the X-rays given out by the Sun. With X-rays we can see the Sun's atmosphere. It is called the solar corona.
