Current Solar Images

The images above are current views of the sun shown at different wavelengths of light as taken by SOHO and the Yohkoh soft-Xray telescope. Generally, more bright regions on the disk indicates more solar activity, which usually leads to higher solar flux levels (which also often leads to better ham radio and shortwave propagation!).
(Orange= SOHO- 30.4 nm, Yellow= SOHO- 28.4 nm, Green= SOHO- 19.5 nm, Blue= SOHO- 17.1 nm)
