The GONG facility of NSO continually produces solar full-disk images centered on the H-αspectral line at a wavelength of 6562.8 Åin air. The image format is 2048 x 2048 pixels. The images are taken ...
The Potential-field Source-surface (PFSS) model provides a simple and effective model for the large-scale features of the global coronal magnetic field. To capture large-scale field structure in a ...
In a groundbreaking new study, a team led by scientists from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) National Solar Observatory (NSO) has captured the sharpest-ever view of the Sun’s surface, ...
Soaring nearly two-miles, or three kilometers, above the Pacific Ocean, Haleakalā is Maui Island’s largest volcanic mountain and a near perfect place for solar astronomy. Haleakalā is a high-elevation ...
The central mission of the Visible Tunable Filter, VTF, is to spectrally isolate narrow-band images of the Sun at the highest possible spatial and temporal resolution from the DKIST telescope. The ...
