Movie Description
[4-year movie] 256 x 256 rendition of all full-resolution (1024 x 1024) Fe XII Å images from 1996 April through 2000 April. Bumps, wiggles, and odd roll angles are all spacecraft motions. (MPEG; 33 Mbyte)
[1999 December movie] One solar rotation in Fe XII 195 Å (MPEG; 12 Mbyte)
[filament eruption movie] A filament eruption in Fe XII 195 Å (MPEG;200 Kbyte)
[filament eruption difference movie] A running difference version of the preceding movie (MPEG; 700 Kbyte)

Image Description
[EIT wave] Running difference images of an EIT wave, at a phase of the solar cycle when there was little to interfere with the uniform propagation of fast-mode waves in the lower corona (1997 May 12)
[Eruptive prominence] A large, eruptive prominence captured by an EIT synoptic 304 Å image (1997 September 14)
[EIT necrotic tissue composite] A three-color composite of EIT synoptic images in 171 Å (blue), 195 Å (green), and 284 Å (red). The polar coronal holes and plumes, and filaments are clearly cooler than active regions, where the white areas presumably indicate unresolved fine structure. Note the relatively high temperature of the extended structures. (1998 May 24)
[Blue Sun] An Fe IX, X 171 Å image obtained during the rise to solar maximum (1999 August 22)
[Large prominence] A 304 Å image of a large prominence erupting at an angle typical of solar maximum. Future EUV imagers should have larger fields of view. (2000 March 28)
[Two for the price of one] A 304 Å image of an eruptive prominence (SW). The feature in the NW has the appearance of a classic, three-part (bright front, dark cavity, bright prominence core) coronal mass ejection, and may be due to Si XI 303 Å or Fe XV 284 Å emission (2001 February 12)
[Hot corona, cool holes] A 284 Å image showing the return of mid-latitude coronal holes after solar maximum (2001 March 23)
[Half a cycle] Fe XII 195 Å images sampling solar minimum (left), the rise to solar maximum (center), and near solar maximum (right) in the lower corona
[SEP event] SOI/MDI white-light image (upper left), EIT 195 Å image (upper right), LASCO C2 image (lower left), and LASCO C3 image (lower right) showing the active region, flare, coronal mass ejection, and solar energetic particle event of 2000 November 8, the second largest SEP event of the current cycle (so far)
