nasa sdo lunar transit prominence eruption and m-class flare
Bookmarked 636 weeks ago
on jan 30 2014 beginning at 8:31 am est the moon moved between nasa039s solar dynamics observatory or sdo and the sun giving the observatory a view of a partial solar eclipse from space such a lunar transit happens two to three times each year this one lasted two and one half hours which is the longest ever recorded when the next one will occur is as of yet unknown due to planned adjustments in sdo039s orbitnote in the pictures how crisp the horizon is on the moon a reflection of the fact that the moon has no atmosphere around it to distort the light from the sunthe sun emitted a mid-level solar flare peaking at 11:11 am est on jan 30 2014 images of the flare were captured by nasa039s solar dynamics observatory or sdo shortly after the observatory witnessed a lunar transit the black disk of the moon can be seen in the lower right of the imagesthe movie shows the sun moving quite a bit because sdo has a hard time keeping the sun centered in the image during a transit because the moon blocks so much light the fine guidance systems on the sdo instruments need to see the whole sun in order keep the images centered from exposure to exposure once the transit was over the fine guidance systems started back up once again providing steady images of the sun this video is public domain and can be downloaded at: http:svsgsfcnasagovgoto11463like our videos subscribe to nasa039s goddard shorts hd podcast:http:svsgsfcnasagovvisitunesf0004_indexhtmlor find nasa goddard space flight center on facebook:http:wwwfacebookcomnasagsfcor find us on twitter:http:twittercomnasagoddard

as we are almost halfway through the venus transit here is a look at venus through the nasa solar dynamics observatory aia instrument this is in 171 angstrom wavelength this channel is especially good at showing coronal loops - the arcs extending off of the sun where plasma moves along magnetic field lines the brightest spots seen here are locations where the magnetic field near the surface is exceptionally strongcredit: nasa sdo
