The Chromosphere

Description
The Chromosphere
This photograph of the chromosphere was taken by the Hinode (Japanese for “sunrise”) satellite. The dark bumps are the tops
of granules, and the light regions are hotter gases in spicules. The spicules on the edge or limb of the Sun give a sense of the
height of these gas jets
