Images like those shown above isolate regions of inflowing gas, shown in red, and outflowing gas, shown in blue. Particles such as electrons and protons flow out at speeds near 3 million kilometers per hour. This wind will typically enter one of the Sun's coronal holes before flowing out into the Solar System . Analysis indicates that the high-speed wind escapes at the edges of large convection cells , drawn in black. SOHO has recently been revived to run without the use of any orienting gyroscopes .
