This
ultraviolet image of the sun was captured by the NASA Solar Dynamics
Observatory (SDO), launched last February to monitor Earth's temperamental star with unprecedented precision.
A TANGLED SKEIN Splendid loops in the corona protrude from the sun's surface, seen in this 2014
ultraviolet image from NASA's Solar Dynamics
Observatory.
This
image combines data from five different telescopes: The VLA (radio) in red; Spitzer Space Telescope (infrared) in yellow; Hubble Space Telescope (visible) in green; XMM - Newton (
ultraviolet) in blue; and Chandra X-ray
Observatory (X-ray) in purple.
Images of the sun in the far
ultraviolet and in X-rays (acquired most recently by the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory spacecraft, the Yohkoh satellite, and the NIXT rockets) show that the heating of the corona is localized in solar active regions, which indicates the important role played by the magnetic field.
Japan's Hinode spacecraft picked up low - energy X-rays, depicted in green, while NASA's Solar Dynamics
Observatory imaged areas with extreme
ultraviolet light, shown in yellow and red.
RISE UP Coils of magnetism that erupt from the sun, seen in this false color
ultraviolet image from NASA's Solar Dynamics
Observatory, are pushed up in parcels of gas, a new study suggests.
These
images are complementary to space - based telescopes, like NASA's Solar Dynamics
Observatory, which takes
images primarily in
ultraviolet light and does not have the capacity for the high - speed imagery that can be captured aboard the WB - 57F.
This sequence of
images of the the Sun in
ultraviolet light was taken by the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft on Feb. 11, 1996 from its unique vantage point at the «L1» gravity neutral point 1 million miles sunward from the Earth.
Then, they combined the spectra with infrared
images of the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Herschel Space
Observatory, and optical
images of the Hubble Space Telescope, to create a complete multi-wavelength picture of their galaxies: from rest - frame
ultraviolet to rest - frame far - infrared.
