STEREO's Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI)
At a pixel resolution of 2048x2048, the STEREO EUVI instrument provides views of the Sun in ultraviolet light that rivals the full-disk views of SOHO/EIT. This image is through the 171 angstrom (ultraviolet) filter which is characteristic of iron ions (missing eight and nine electrons) at 1 million degrees. There is a short data gap in the latter half of the movie that creates a freeze and then jump in the data view.
This is a movie of the Sun in 171 Ångstrom ultraviolet light. The time frame is late January, 2007
