Activities

Unless otherwise noted, the activities were developed by Deborah Scherrer, and tested with various teams of teachers.


Host Site



SDO Spacecraft Data and Imagery

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), whose images and videos are featured prominently on this website, consists of 3 scientific instruments:
Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) - Built by Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory
Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) - Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics
Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) Stanford University

SOHO Spacecraft Data and Imagery

Many images in the website are from the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). SOHO is a mission of international cooperation between ESA (the European Space Agency) and NASA.


Funding Agencies

Development of the Solar Center has been supported financially at Stanford University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through Grant NAG5-3077. This grant supports Mission Operations and Data Analysis of the Solar Oscillations Investigation Michelson Doppler Imager instrument on the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).

Portions of the work were also supported by the National Science Foundation through grant ATM-9400298 to Stanford University.
