From Satellites: SOHO Home

The SOHO website offers a lot of images, movies and other data. When you open the SOHO Homepage, you will see the image below.

You should take time to explore the resources on this page. One resource you will need allows you to examine SOHO images over several days. When you are on the SOHO page, click on "The Sun Now" or the image of the Sun below it.

You should explore this page, too. It has links that will show you a lot of detail for each of these 8 views of the Sun. Under each image is a link that says More + More EIT 171, and More MDI Continuum. If you click on those links on this page, you will see many images from several days. This will allow you to observe changes in the solar activity, sunspots and magnetic fields over many days.

At the bottom of the page, you are offered links to movies of images from each of the SOHO instruments. These movies are excellent. You can see the changes in the Sun as a short movie.

Predict your Sunspot Suspect

When you have compared your observations with observations from ground-based observatories and from the many instruments on satellites you can select your Sunspot Suspect. You can make your prediction for the sunspot most likely to be the location for an energetic flare that might affect Earth. Your prediction will be combined with predictions from students across the nation. The Sunspot Suspect selected most often will be announced daily at Space Weather Resources.
