Hi-resolution Solar Views from VAULT: Active Region
This movie presents the VAULT imagery in the context of simultaneous multi-mission observations. We zoom-in to a subset of the image which focuses on an active solar region which shows plumes of hot gases rising above the solar surface.
Movie of an active solar region.
Full solar disk from SOHO-MDI.
SOHO-EIT at 284 angstroms.
SOHO-EIT at 304 angstroms.
TRACE (blue) at 171 angstroms.
The first image from VAULT overlaying space-based solar imagery.
Border appears around some plume-like structures.
Close-up view of the plume.
