Satellite Imagery X-RAY Solar Images and the use False Color
Imagery When looking at how active the Sun is with respect to
radiation (energy), X-RAY imagery is used to show the active areas
of the Sun. The active area of the Sun in these images is shown in
a different color and is situated along the equatorial region.
Slide 46
Satellite Images: Visible Light Imagesof the Sun These are
Visible light or white-light images (gray) as we would see the Sun
if you were to walk outside and look at it. (CAUTION- NEVER look
directly at the Sun) These images show dark sunspots on the Suns
outer surface. Sunspots show cooler areas on the Suns outer
photosphere.
Slide 47
Can you MATCH the White Light image to the correct XRAY image?
Do they correlate in someway?
Slide 48
Answer: There is an actual physical connection between sunspots
and X-ray active regions Sunspots are locations where intense
magnetic fields pass through the photosphere. The bright active
regions in the corona are also regions of concentrated magnetic
field; the loop-like structures sometimes seen in active regions
actually trace out the direction of magnetic field lines. The fact
that an X-ray active region is found in the corona directly above a
photospheric sunspot suggests that the same magnetic field links
them both: the magnetic field threads through the sunspot up into
the corona, where it loops back down again to the photosphere
below.

Slide 51
Creating Images from Sun Spots Computers often record and
transfer information using a series of ones (1) and zeros (0). This
is called a "binary system. Pixels Create images of sun spots from
the binary system
