The movie shows a 90,000 km squared region from the Hi-C Imager. The frames have been enhanced using a technique to bring out the small scale magnetic features. These features include the moss, which are the smallest and brightest structures seen in the image. The movie reveals that the moss is highly dynamic and constantly in motion. Careful observations of the moss reveal this motion is a violent swaying motion, moving with speeds close to 16,000 kilometers per hour (10,000 miles per hour).
