Summary[edit]

Description

A low-contrast web-like pattern most readily seen in hydrogen alpha or Calcium K outlining bundles of magnetic fields that concentrate around the edge of supergranulation cells.

Supergranules are enormous clusters of ordinary granules with a diameter of about 30000km. Fluid motion within the supergranule concentrates magnetic fields at the edges.
