This visualization represents the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field. By tracing magnetic field lines at extremely high resolution, solar physicists calculated a 3D map of the so-called squashing factor - a scientific measure designed to indicate the presence of complex structuring in the magnetic field. They then integrated the map along the line-of-sight, with special weightings to create a composite that resembles solar eclipse images. Credit: Cooper Downs, Predictive Science, Inc.
