About this reel

This reel delves into the perplexing question of why the Sun’s corona, visible during a total solar eclipse, reaches temperatures in the millions of degrees Celsius, far hotter than its surface at 6000 degrees. The narration outlines various theories proposed by physicists over decades, including magnetic field lines carrying hidden energy and countless tiny flares releasing heat high above the surface. It also mentions recent space missions that are sampling the corona for answers. The mood is inquisitive and thought-provoking, perfect for those interested in astronomy and unsolved scientific mysteries.
