This image from the joint NASA-Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Hinode mission shows the lower regions of the sun’s atmosphere, the interface region, which a new mission called the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS, will study in exquisite detail.

NASA will launch its newest mission to watch the sun: the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS on June 26. IRIS will show the lowest levels of the sun’s atmosphere, the interface region, in more detail than has even been observed before.

This will help scientists understand how the energy dancing through this area helps power the sun’s million-degree upper atmosphere, the corona.
