Halloween Solar Storms from SOHO/EIT, 195 Angstroms
This view from SOHO/EIT in the 195 Angstrom band, shows the multitude of solar flares released in the Fall of 2003 as a group of active regions rotated back into view. This movie is synchronized to play with animation IDs 2960 (http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a002900/a002960) and 2961 (http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a002900/a002961).

For more information on how X-ray solar flares are classified (B, C, M, X), visit (http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html).


This movie shows over two weeks of high solar activity visible to SOHO-EIT at a wavelength of 195 Angstroms.    This movie shows over two weeks of high solar activity visible to SOHO-EIT at a wavelength of 195 Angstroms.

The X28 event shown here is the most powerful solar flare ever recorded. There is some debate that this event was actually as high as X40.    The X28 event shown here is the most powerful solar flare ever recorded. There is some debate that this event was actually as high as X40.
