RHESSI and TRACE View of January 20, 2005 Solar Flare
|
RHESSI spacecraft images of gamma-rays (blue) and X-rays (red) thrown off by the hottest part of the flare are shown with UV images from the TRACE spacecraft. The gamma rays are made by energetic protons at the Sun. Scientists were surprised that the gamma rays matched the energy spectrum of protons at Earth: the proton storm may have come directly from the Sun and not from the CME as anticipated.

Closeup of AR 10720. Blue high-energy emission marks the footpoints of the coronal loops. The lower-energy red emission is from the
loop structure. See note below under ImageMods.
