Solar Flare will Hit NASA Curiosity Mission En Route to Mars
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite has spotted a giant eruption off the surface of the Sun that will hit rover Curiosity on its way to Mars.www.dailygalaxy.com
NASA image: Sunspots and Solar Flares
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured this image of an M7.9 class flare on March 13, 2012 at 1:29 p.m. EDT. It is shown here in the 131 Angstrom wavelength, a wavelength particularly good for seeing solar flares and a wavelength that is typi…
Angry Sunspot Now Rotating Away
Sunspot 1429 constantly changed over the nine days pointed toward Earth (March 4-12, 2012). NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory watched it wallop Earth with several solar storms. Will it still be active when it come around again?www.space.com
Sun-watchers hope giant telescope will get green light
Observatory would reveal structures that trigger sunspots and space weather. Close and bright though it is, the Sun still defies a thorough understanding. One reason is that some of the features on its roiling surface are too small and short-lived to b…
X Class Flare: APOD February 17th 2011
On Valentine’s Day (ET) the Sun unleased one of its most powerful explosions, an X-class flare. The blast was the largest so far in the new solar cycle. Erupting from active region AR1158 in the Sun’s southern hemisphere, the flare is captured here in …
Solar Blast Just Misses Earth
On August 7th (1825 UT), magnetic fields around sunspot 1093 became unstable and erupted, producing a strong M1-class solar flare. Several amateur astronomers caught the active region in mid-flare, while NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded an ex…
APOD: 2010 August 6 – The Not So Quiet Sun
After a long solar minimum, the Sun is no longer so quiet. On August 1, this extreme ultraviolet snapshot of the Sun from the Solar Dynanimcs Observatory captured a complex burst of activity playing across the Sun’s northern hemisphere. The false-color…
Sun Puts on a Spectacular Eruption Show (Vid)
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a trio of awesome solar phenomena on August 1. A sunspot gave rise to a solar flare which erupted nearly simultaneously with a huge magnetic filament. A solar tsunami can also be seen emanating from the flar…
Image Display – Extreme Ultraviolet Image Of The Sun [Pic]
A must see image ……. A full-disk multiwavelength extreme ultraviolet image of the sun taken by the new Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO %2
SDO opens its eyes and sees our star like never before
Astronomy | Last week, NASA presented the first images and videos from its latest and greatest eye on the Sun: the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
[Great video of solar flares!]
A Psychedelic Sun
NASA’s latest eye on the sun sure beats a pinhole camera. Launched into geosynchronous orbit on 11 February, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) returned this extreme ultraviolet, false-color image on 30 March as part of the 1.5 terabytes of data it returns each day
NASA Releases Amazing New Footage of Our Dynamic Sun
Posted by admin in Environment on April 24, 2010
The recently launched Solar Dynamics Observatory has been taking some unique portraits of our solar companion using four telescopes looking at the sun in different wavelengths. The results are unusual and beautiful, fulfilling the mission’s goal of exploring “solar activity in unprecedented detail.”
Stunning new images of the sun (photos)
NASA released stunning new images of the sun that have been sent back by its Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which was launched into space on February 11.
APOD: The Extreme Ultraviolet Sun
Don’t panic, the Sun has not gone wild. But this wild-looking portrait of the nearest star to planet Earth was made on March 30th by the recently launched Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
APOD: 2010 April 23 – SDO: The Extreme Ultraviolet Sun (PIC)
Don’t panic, the Sun has not gone wild. But this wild-looking portrait of the nearest star to planet Earth was made on March 30th by the recently launched Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Shown in false-color, the composite view covers extreme ultraviolet wavelengths and traces hot plasma at temperatures approaching 1 million kelvins.
Nasa reveals stunning footage from new satellite [w/ VIDEO]
The stunning images were taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which is the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun and takes pictures ten times clearer than high-definition TV.
The Deadliest Place In the Solar System Is Beautiful
This is the deadliest place in the solar system, photographed as never before by NASA’s new Solar Dynamics Observatory. It’s one of the first humbling images of our mighty Sun returned by the spacecraft. The video is terrifying…
New Space Telescope First Mind-Blowing Video of the Sun
NASA’s latest space telescope, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, is delivering unprecedented images of our local star. The telescope was launched Feb. 11. NASA released the first tremendously exciting data from the mission today.
Diving Deep into a Solar Prominence (SDO First Light)
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission has returned its first, breathtaking images.
Cold, Little Comet Is No Match for the Big, Hot Sun
A small, newly discovered comet will not get a chance to enjoy its fame for long. As you can see in this image sequence obtained by NASA’s Solar and Heliosopheric Observatory, the comet is on a collision course with the sun. Things will not end well for the comet, which will burn.
