of the Sun - called the corona - as well as hot flare plasma.
Hot active regions, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections
will appear bright here. The dark areas - called coronal holes -
are places where very little radiation is emitted, yet are the main
source of solar wind particles.

Where: Corona and hot flare plasma
Wavelength: 193 angstroms (0.0000000193 m) = Extreme Ultraviolet
Primary ions seen: 11 times ionized iron (Fe XII)
Characteristic temperature: 1.25 million K (2.25 million F)", "0171"=>" 171 This channel is especially good at showing coronal loops
- the arcs extending off of the Sun where plasma moves
along magnetic field lines. The brightest spots seen here are locations where the
magnetic field near the surface is exceptionally strong.

Where: Quiet corona and upper transition region
Wavelength: 171 angstroms (0.0000000171 m) = Extreme Ultraviolet
Primary ions seen: 8 times ionized iron (Fe IX)
Characteristic temperature: 1 million K (1.8 million F)", "HMIBC"=>" MIC This image comes from HMI, another instrument on SDO.
It shows the magnetic field directions near the surface of the Sun.
Green and yellow areas indicate opposite magnetic polarities,
with green showing north (outward) polarity and yellow
showing south (inward) polarity.

Where: Photosphere
Wavelength: 6173 angstroms (0.0000006173 m) = Visible (orange)
Primary ions seen: Neutral iron (Fe I)

Current Sunspot Activity
Sunspots last 30 days
  • Sunspots are solar magnetic storms. The spots appear darker because the temperature of the spots are lower than the surrounding photosphere.
  • They serve as a reservoir for solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which cause Aurorae, power/communication outages, and satellite anomalies.
  • The Sun's activity waxes and wanes in an 11-year sunspot cycle; Solar Minimum is when the number of sunspots are lowest.
  • There seems to be a correlation between Solar Min/Maximum and Earth's weather. The extent to which Ozone, stratospheric winds, global circulation patterns, and cloud seeding are all affected are still being studied.

Solar Activity Monitor

The monitor in the page heading provides a textual status of X-ray activity and refers to the X-Ray Flux graph at the top of the page.
NORMAL Solar X-ray flux is quiet (<1.00e-6 W/m^2).
ACTIVE Solar X-ray flux is active (>= 1.00e-6 W/m^2).
M CLASS FLARE An M Class Solar Flare has occurred (>= 1.00e-5 W/m^2).
X CLASS FLARE An X Class Solar Flare has occurred (>= 1.00e-4 W/m^2).
MEGA FLARE An unprecedented X-ray event has occurred (>= 1.00e-3 W/m^2).
