NASA | EUNIS Sees Evidence for Nanoflare Coronal Heating

The video explains the counterintuitive phenomenon of increasing temperatures away from the sun, attributed to the nanoflare heating theory. This theory suggests numerous low-energy nanoflares heat the solar corona. The Eunice instrument, flown on a sounding rocket, captures data to support this theory by observing ion emissions. These observations provide evidence for the nanoflare heating theory, exciting astronomers studying the sun's atmosphere.
