STIX captured the location and size of X-rays emitted by solar flares, which are now represented with those blue circles, while the EUI images showcase the sun's outer atmosphere in yellow.

MacPhail says using special filters, it’s “mind-blowing to see solar flares popping off the edge of the sun, sun spots and the sun’s texture.” After our sun and planets, MacPhail says ...
