SOHO/TRACE Intro

On April 3, 2009, countries from around the world participated in the '100 Hours of Astronomy' webcast to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy. This movie was used to introduce the SOHO/TRACE segment. Alex Young and Dawn Meyers, NASA scientists, describe how both SOHO and TRACE view the sun in their own unique way.

Data Used:
SOHO
NASA and ESA
SOHO monitors the Sun with a variety of instruments.

Among the SOHO instruments is the Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI) and the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT).

TRACE
The TRACE satellite views the Sun at ultraviolet wavelengths with high temporal (approximately 1-12 seconds) and spatial (1 arcsecond per pixel) resolution. Launched on April 2, 1998, it orbits the Earth in a Sun-synchronous orbit.
Note: While we identify the data sets used in these visualizations, we do not store any further details nor the data sets themselves on our site.
