- The recent launch of the HighResolution Coronal Imager (HiC) as a sounding rocket has offered a new, different view of the Sun. With approx 0.3" resolution and 5 second cadence, HiC reveals dynamic, smallscale structure within a complicated active region, including coronal braiding, reconnection regions, Alfven waves, and flows along active region fans. By combining the HiC data with other available data, we have compiled a rich data set that can be used to address many outstanding questions in solar physics. Though the HiC rocket flight was short (only 5 minutes), the added insight of the smallscale structure gained from the HiC data allows us to look at this active region and other active regions with new understanding. In this talk, I will review the first results from the HiC sounding rocket and discuss the impact of these results on the coronal heating problem.
