12. Launched on October 25, 2006

13. STEREO in space

14. Solar Eclipse

15. The Sun in ultraviolet light shows prominences, sliding plasma and tiny spikes darting up just above the Sun’s surface, seen best along its edge

16. The erupting prominence seen in UV light

17. The Sun in just one wavelength of UV light

18. A 3D composite of the Sun in UV light: the brighter areas are active regions; darker areas are coronal holes

19. The Sun in one wavelength of UV light: the brighter loops above an active region

21. 21 Solar magnetic field

22. A 3D composite of the Sun in UV light: the brighter areas are active regions: darker areas are coronal holes

23. A 3D composite of the Sun in UV light: the active region with curved magnetic field lines

24. The Sun in one wavelength of UV light: the eruptive prominence on the upper right

25. The Sun in one wavelength of UV light: the bright loops above an active region.

26. Consists of different layers (onion-like structure) –hot core – nuclear fusion –radiative zone – many photons –convective zone - hot plasma rising – atmosphere (photosphere, chromosphere, corona) The Sun’s peculiar rotation Magnetic seasons of the Sun The Sun is mistic
