NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) 30 days videos, compare the sun's activity from periods of t 2.5 years, showing increased solar activity. Images shown were collected in 171 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light. Areas of intense activity is shown as the brighter areas with electromagnetic field loops above those areas. This activity should increase … [Read more...] about SDO Solar Images & Data Collection 2010-2013

Comet Grazing the Sun
In December 2011, comet Lovejoy dove through the sun's corona. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured images offering scientists a unique opportunity to observe the phenomenon. Comet tails have ionized gases which are affected by the sun's magnetic field, and a comet's encounter with the sun is a treat for heliophysicits to continue their study of the sun and of … [Read more...] about Comet Grazing the Sun

X1.1 Class Solar Flare – July 6, 2012
The video below shows an X1.1 Solar flare being released at region AR1514 of the sun, on July 6, 2012 This flare measured 171 Angstrom wavelength. Solar region AR1515 has been releasing multiple M and C-class flares this entire week. Solar flares of this magnitude can cause radio communication disruption on Earth's polar regions, as it causes imbalance in the … [Read more...] about X1.1 Class Solar Flare – July 6, 2012
