Various Sun Images for the Hyperwall
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provides ultra high-definition imagery of the Sun in 13 different wavelengths, utilizing two imaging instruments, the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). These images were captured by SDO on December 6, 2010.
This image shows multiple bands from the SDO Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA).
This image shows the magnetic field mapping of the photosphere. Black identifies magnetic field lines pointing away from the Earth, while white identifies magnetic field lines coming toward the earth.
This image shows the photosphere of the sun in a broad range of visible light.
This image shows radiation from the sun at 17.1 nm wavelength.
