Title:
A Multi-Mission View of the AR9906 Solar Flare with Instrument Labels
Instrument:
RHESSI/X-ray Imaging Spectrometer
Description:
TRACE and one RHESSI channel
Abstract:
Here's a view of the Sun, from the point of view of a fleet of Sun-observing spacecraft - SOHO, TRACE, and RHESSI. The time scales of the data samples in this visualization range from 6 hours to as short as 12 seconds and the display rate varies throughout the movie. The region and event of interest is the solar flare over solar active region AR9906 on April 21, 2002. In this visualization, the instrument names appear in a color roughly matching the color used for the data, and black corresponds to no (current) instrument coverage.
