En se basant sur des données recueillies par l’ESO (European Southern Observatory), les scientifiques ont réussi à donner une idée (et même une image) de ce à quoi ressemble une belle matinée ensoleillée sur Pluton. http://www.maxisciences.com/pluton/a-quoi-ressemble-le-soleil-vu-depuis-pluton_art21758.html

A quoi ressemble le Soleil vu depuis Pluton

http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/firstlight/gallery/art.php The Sun as Art traveling exhibit (here presented as a slide show) presents a new way of looking at the Sun as seen from space, based on images captured by NASA’s premier solar mission, SDO (the Solar Dynamics Observatory). Most images were taken in extreme ultraviolet wavelength of light.

STEREO

The sun sent out two different kinds of solar activity on November 3, 2011 in different directions: an X.19 solar flare and a particularly bright CME.

Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The number of solar flares increases approximately every 11 years, and the sun is currently moving towards another solar maximum, likely in 2013.

An x-class flare began at 3:48 AM EDT on August 9, 2011 and peaked at 4:05 AM.

Real-time plots auroral activity Here you'll find plots of the solar wind speed/density and the Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) of the last two hours, these are the first parameters in the predicition of auroral activity. http://www.spaceweatherlive.com/index.php?zon&lang=FR
Solar activity remains very low with only B-Class X-Ray activity detected mostly around Sunspot 1450 and region 1451.

Aujourd’hui le soleil s’est arrêté. C’est, littéralement, la définition du solstice . À 6h30 précises en effet, heure de Paris (5h30 T.U.), le Soleil s’est arrêté de marcher vers le sud, et se lèvera à présent chaque jour un peu plus au nord de la position qu’il occupait la veille. http://www.cidehom.com/apod.php?_date=111222

Le Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) est un satellite d’observatoire solaire de la NASA, dont le lancement a eu lieu le 11 février 2010. Il étudie avec précision l’atmosphère solaire dans un grand nombre de longueurs d’ondes pour voir comment les changements d’activité de la surface du soleil peut influer sur la Terre.
