Looping magnetic field lines (white) dance across the sun in a composite picture that overlays maps of magnetic activity on an extreme ultraviolet image of the star, taken October 20.
The picture, made using data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, shows that the field lines are densest around magnetically active regions of the sun, but the lines also link out to less active areas across the star's surface.
