The close-up views by EUI show the upper atmosphere of the Sun, or corona, with a temperature of around 1 million degrees. With the power to see features in the solar corona of only 400 km across, these images reveal a multitude of small flaring loops, erupting bright spots and dark, moving fibrils. A ubiquitous feature of the solar surface, uncovered for the first time by these images, have been called ‘campfires’. They are omnipresent minuature eruptions that could be contributing to the high temperatures of the solar corona and the origin of the solar wind.

Amazing...
What are those tiny dark spots that are moving? I thought it might have been something on the camera, but they stay stationary as the camera pans one way or the other... Is that the dark spot they're also calling a campfire?

And what is this in the upper left hand corner of the Campfire video. About center frame in the crop below.
It would be nice to know the scale of what we're looking at though.
