Europe’s Solar Orbiter has captured surreal video of the Sun’s atmosphere, revealing a slew of fascinating—and jaw dropping—stellar features.

ESA says the brightest spots seen in the video reach temperatures around one million degrees Celsius, with the dark spots being areas where radiation is absorbed. ESA also provided an annotated version of the video to explain the various features, but here’s a breakdown.
