Image of the solar corona, taken by the SECCHI inner Heliospheric Imager (HI-1)
on the STEREO Ahead observatory on December 24, 2024 at 07:17:31 UT.
This image was produced from the STEREO space weather beacon telemetry.
Because of the high amount of compression used for the space weather beacon,
the image quality is far lower than in the final science product.
