NASA SOHO STEREO Image: CME Plasma Loops and Arcs

Credit: SOHO

Loops and arcs shoot from two active regions on the sun, April 8, 2013. 

The STEREO's (Ahead) spacecraft took the image in extreme UV light. 

The loops consist of plasma at temperatures up to a million degrees C., arcing along the lines of magnetic fields.
