NASA Data Interruptions
- March 31, 2022 to April 14, 2022 - Data interruptions affected EIT 171, 195, 284, and 304 imagery.
Latest Solar Imagery
EIT 171 Å
The EIT 171 Å channel shows the solar corona at 1 million degrees Kelvin, highlighting active regions and coronal loops.
EIT 195 Å
EIT 195 Å images the solar corona at 1.5 million degrees Kelvin, revealing hotter regions and the origins of solar flares.
EIT 284 Å
EIT 284 Å shows the solar corona at 2 million degrees Kelvin, emphasizing active regions and the base of the corona.
EIT 304 Å
EIT 304 Å images the chromosphere and transition region at 50,000 degrees Kelvin, showcasing prominences and filaments.
SDO/HMI Continuum
The HMI Continuum from the SDO shows the visible surface of the Sun (photosphere), revealing sunspots and surface granulation.
SDO/HMI Magnetogram
The HMI Magnetogram displays the magnetic field strength and polarity on the Sun's surface, highlighting active regions and magnetic structures.
LASCO C2
The LASCO C2 coronagraph observes the inner solar corona, blocking out the Sun's disk to reveal faint coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and streamers.
LASCO C2 Combo
The LASCO C2 Combo combines different processing techniques to enhance the visibility of faint coronal features.
LASCO C3
LASCO C3 has a wider field of view than C2, observing the outer solar corona and tracking CMEs further out from the Sun.
LASCO C3 Combo
The LASCO C3 Combo uses image processing to improve the visibility of faint structures in the outer corona.
