Yohkoh detected the X-rays produced by the Sun's hot outer atmosphere. During most of 1992, Yohkoh also made visible (or "white light") images of the Sun. The images listed below are in the GIF format. They are about 262 kilobytes each; image resolution is 512 pixels by 512 pixels.
The white-light images are stamped with the date and
time of the observation; the date stamps have been left off of the X-ray
images. Use what you have learned about magnetic
active regions to match the X-ray pictures with the respective
simultaneous white-light images. (This activity may be more
manageable if you print out all the images on individual pages, and then
try to match them up. Alternatively, you can save some paper by printing
out just the X-ray pictures and comparing them to the white-light images
on screen.) The images have been further divided into two sets:
Novice and Challenge.
