"Eclipse Watch: View Eclipses from Space Any Time with New Tool"

A new online tool called Eclipse Watch allows users to observe eclipse-like images of the Sun's outer atmosphere captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) in real time, providing a preview of the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. The tool displays images from the spacecraft's Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Experiment (LASCO) instrument, offering a glimpse of what can be witnessed during the eclipse. SOHO, launched in 1995, studies the Sun and its outer corona, and Eclipse Watch is an extension of the Helioviewer tool, supporting exploratory data analysis and enabling researchers to monitor solar events.

"Stunning Composite of 90,000 Images Reveals Sun's Fiery Surface"

Astrophotographers Andrew McCarthy and Jason Guenzel have created a stunning composite image of the sun using approximately 90,000 satellite photographs from NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. The image, called "Fusion of Helios," showcases the swirling surface of the sun and includes spicules and a massive tornado of plasma. The photographers used computer software to stitch the photos together and create a full mosaic of the sun, including the corona and chromosphere, which are normally visible only under certain conditions. Print copies of the image are available for purchase on the photographers' websites.

"Stunning Composite of 90,000 Images Reveals Sun's Fiery Surface"

Astrophotographers Andrew McCarthy and Jason Guenzel have created a hyper-accurate image of the sun by stitching together approximately 90,000 photographs of the star, including data from NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. The image, called "Fusion of Helios," showcases the sun's swirling surface and includes thousands of spicules and a massive tornado of plasma. The photographers used computer software to stitch the photos together and create a full mosaic of the sun, including the corona and chromosphere, which are visible only under certain conditions.
