- Active SunPlasma exploding off the photosphere, traveling along the magnetic field. TRACE satellite.
- Sunquakes SOHO, 11th magnitude quake spreading out from a solar flare causing ripples on the surface.
- The Sun at UltravioletIonized Helium in Chromosphere. SOHO (Solar and HelioSpheric Observatory)
- Active Sun II Ultraviolet rays of ionized Iron atoms (1,000,000 K plasma temperature) TRACE (Transition Region and Coronal Explorer)
- Tornadoes Tornadoe on the Sun's atmosphere. SOHO. (Larger than Earth, 1000 times stronger winds!)
- Sunspots NATIONAL SOLAR OBSERVATORY (ground based) Sunspots are magnetic depressions of the size of the Earth.
- Corona A total eclipse of the Sun. Feb. 26 1998.
- Neutrino Image SUPER-KAMIOKANDE (neutrino detector in Japan) evidence of neutrino mass!
- Prominences SOHO. Magnetic plasma arch=prominence. Light by ionized Helium.
- Magnetic Carpet SOHO. 10,000s of magnetic north and south poles joined by field lines that extend to the corona and heat it up to a million K.
- Prominence SOHO. Erupting Sun, huge prominence, 27 Earths, 150,000 F (extreme Ultraviolet light from ionized Helium atoms.
- Rivers SOHO. Differential Rotation of the Sun, plus complicated motion of the surface (red=fast, blue=slow), plus internal convection.
