STEREO Images of the Sun
Overview
STEREO's Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope captured these images of the sun March 17-27, 2007. STEREO can see the sun in several different wavelengths. Each wavelength allows scientists to view different temperatures and features on the sun.

First 3-D stereo from STEREO: EUVI 171 Ångströms (Active Region)
Go to this pageThis movie shows the Sun from the two STEREO spacecraft using the 171 ? filter in the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI). This filter reveals ionized iron (Fe+8=Fe IX, Fe+9=Fe X) which forms at temperatures above 1.3x106K, and flows along the magnetic field lines of the solar active regions. New regions of solar activity come into view as the Sun rotates left to right. ||

First 3-D Stereo from STEREO: EUVI 171 Angstroms (South Pole View)
Go to this pageThis movie shows the south pole of the Sun from the two STEREO spacecraft using the 171 angstrom filter in the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI). This filter reveals ionized iron (Fe+8=Fe IX, Fe+9=Fe X) which forms at temperatures above 1.3x106K, and flows along the magnetic field lines of the solar active regions. New active regions come into view as the Sun rotates. ||

First 3-D Stereo from STEREO: 284 Angstroms (Active Region)
Go to this pageThis movie shows the Sun from the two STEREO spacecraft using the 284 angstrom filter in the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI). This filter reveals ionized iron (Fe+14=Fe XV), which forms at temperatures above 2x106K, and flows along the magnetic field lines of the solar active regions. New regions come into view as the Sun rotates. ||
