View recent solar flares, sunspots, coronal mass ejections, and coronal streamers from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellites. Images are from the following instruments:
1. AIA = Atmospheric Imaging Assembly
2. EIT = Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope
3. HMI = Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager
View the different layers of the suns atmosphere and how they are changing over time with the AIA and EIT views.
View the suns magnetic field and how its changing with the magnetogram views.
The SDO AIA and HMI views are 4096 x 4096 pixels. Pinch-to-zoom all images.
The LASCO C2 and C3 views provide a further field of view for solar flares, planetary objects transit, comets, etc.
The EIT, HMI, and LASCO images from SOHO have timelapse animation loops in the app. Each loop contains approximately 30 unique frames of data. The EIT loops generally cover about ten days of observations. The LASCO loops generally cover a few days. No timelapse animations are available for the higher resolution SDO images, yet, just still images.
This app contains quick links to the Lasco C3 Transits web page for the current year. The Lasco C3 Transits page describes which celestial objects are visible at which times.
This app is not affiliated with NASA or ESA.
There is a fixed banner ad from Google on the bottom of the loops.
