Solar Images from the Yohkoh Satellite

These images come from the Yohkoh satellite, a solar observatory orbiting the Earth since 1991.

Yohkoh detects the X-rays produced by the Sun's hot outer atmosphere. The images listed below are in the GIF format. They are about 262 kilobytes each; image resolution is 512 pixels by 512 pixels. (If you don't have time to look at all 21 pictures, then at the very least look at the ones that have *'s by them.)

The gray-scale images will print better if you don't have access to a color printer.
