Solar Cycle 2009-2019
|
Presenting the XRT Solar Cycle image from the Project for Solar-Terrestial Environment Prediction (PSTEP) poster! PSTEP is a group of Japanese research projects aiming for space weather predictions and was founded in 2016 by K. Kusano at Nagoya University. We had previosuly posted a XRT solar cycle image, but this is an updated version created by T. Sakurai at NAOJ and used in a PSTEP poster. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, this poster is packed full of scientific information. In addition to our familiar X-ray images, the solar cycle images were also created with magnetic fields, white light, H-alpha, radio, and solar wind data. All of these were observed by Japanese observatories on nearly the same day across almost the entire solar cycle (2009-2019). Additional details can be found by clicking on the image or by clicking here. It's really a masterpiece! Keywords: Solar Cycle, Full Disk Filters: Al_mesh |
