The Sun blasted out two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in quick succession over a 12-hour period (Dec. 2, 2012). The events are presented here by three of STEREO's (Ahead) instruments composited together. The Sun itself (shown in orangish-red) is seen in extreme UV light; the inner corona (green) by the COR1 coronagraph; and the larger coronal area by the COR2 coronagraph. The CME particle clouds were directed away from Earth.

 

SOHO began its Weekly Pick some time after sending a weekly image or video clip to the American Museum of Natural History (Rose Center) in New York City. There, the SOHO Weekly Pick is displayed with some annotations on a large plasma display.

If your institution would also like to receive the same Weekly Pick from us for display (usually in Photoshop or QuickTime format), please send your inquiry to steele.hill@gsfc.nasa.gov.
