Sun's Corona Temperature Mystery Solved (Sonnet) Poem by Spock the Vegan

The outer layer of our star's (the Sun's) atmosphere
(solar corona) is composed of extremely high
temperature gas (plasma) with temperature near
to two million degrees C. The outer layer by

far is the part that is farthest from the core where
nuclear reactions powering the Sun occur.
It would logically be expected to be there
Where the coolest part of the Sun's gasses stir.

But no, it is 200 times hotter than the photosphere,
the layer beneath it. This 'coronal heating problem' has
puzzled astrophysicists ever since the temperature
of the corona was measured over 70 years in the past.

Now they have found that magnetic waves in solar prominence
transfer energy to the corona through absorptive resonance.
