SDO/HMI Magnetogram Full Disk View - March 29, 2010
This early sequence of images from the HMI imager is processed to reveal the magnetic field structure (magnetogram). White locations represent a positive magnetic field value (north polarity) while black represents a negative magnetic field value (south polarity). Grey is zero magnetic field.
The black and white region slightly above the center corresponds to a visible sunspot. Weaker magnetic regions are visible around the disk.
A full disk view of the magnetic field with the large sunspot group.
