RHESSI Observes the Flare over AR9906 - No time tags
Close-up view of the solar active region AR9906 on April 21, 2002 with TRACE data and RHESSI. RHESSI observes x-rays from this flare. The red contours represent the 12-25 keV photon energy range and the blue contours represent 50-100 keV.

Movie of AR9906 flare with RHESSI & TRACE.    Movie of AR9906 flare with RHESSI & TRACE.
