XRT Images
|
Here you will find full-disk images of the Sun taken with Hinode's X-Ray Telescope (XRT).
Among the goals of the XRT are to study the dynamics of fine-scale coronal phenomena, such as magnetic reconnection and coronal heating mechanisms, and to record large-scale global phenomena, such as coronal mass ejections. The images are courtesy of Harvard-Smithsonian's Center for Astrophysics.
