AI Thread Summary

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has released three years of high-resolution solar images, showcasing the Sun's dynamic activity. Users have been saving images from solar observation missions like SOHO since 1996, with SDO images updated every three hours. Commonly saved wavelengths include Fe IX/X 171 Å, He II 304 Å, and continuum 4500 Å, along with Magnetograms and Hinode XRT TiPoly images. These images provide valuable insights into solar phenomena and are appreciated for their quality. The ongoing collection of solar data contributes significantly to solar research and understanding.

Hi nsaspook

pretty cool huh :)

I have been saving SOHO and other images from this site since ~ 1996
Altho the images are updated every 3 hours, I generally just save one of each image every 24 hrs

normally save the... Fe IX/X 171 Å , He II 304 Å , continuum 4500 Å , Magnetogram and Hinode XRT TiPoly
They are all quite good resolution

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
