We know a lot about how the Solar System formed, but not everything. What is the Solar System made of? Where did that stuff come from, and what can it tell us? We look at presolar grains, tiny treasure troves of stellar information. Watch our animation to find out more: | Sci Ani

Spicules and Coronal Rain 19.1.2018 This movie, taken on 16-12-2013 at the solar limb, shows spicules and "coronal rain": plasma that is rapidly cooled from millions of degrees to only about 30,000 K and subsequently slides back to the solar surface along magnetic field lines. Coronal rain plasma reaches very high speeds (10-100 km/s) on its way down and is used to diagnose conditions and heating mechanisms in the coronal volume. At any given moment, as many as 10 million wild jets of solar mate
