   ocr: High resolution magnerogram showing the evolution of small magnetic features with opposite polarities. The black and white features indicate magnetic north and south poles, which are the "foot points' of magnetic loops extending into the solar corona. Small magnetic loops emerge, tragment and drift around and then disappear in only 40 hours.
