Solar Dynamics Observatory Daily Movies
The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly cameras are creating wonderful high
resolution images of the Sun at several wavelengths. They are also available
as daily movies.
I think they will be FUN to show High School students, at the same time they
observe the Sun with Radio JOVE Kits, and Radio JOVE Participant data
streams from around the world, and discuss Solar events of various types. I
copy my Teacher Friends at Pueblo HS in Tucson.
Please go to:
http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/aiahmi/dayform.php
and choose a date (using the calendar icon if you prefer), and an
instrument, from one of 11 choices.
I like AIA 171 (gold) because it delineates well the magnetic field of
active regions, using iron ions at about a million degrees kelvin.
The resolution can be 512 or 1024 pixels square.
The region near the north east limb (not numbered yet) continues to look
beautiful, but it has not produced any significant radio bursts (to my
knowledge, as of 100709 1623 UT).
My many thanks to the Taxpayers who made SDO possible.
I am one of them.
