. These photos of the solar corona show the improvement in resolution offered by NASA's High Resolution Coronal Imager (bottom) versus the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (top). The representative color images were made from observations of ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 19.3 nanometers (25 times shorter than the wavelength of visible light). Credit: NASA
