Davies, HELCATS teamThese are observations from the HI-1 camera on STEREO-Behind, showing the solar wind from 4 to 24 degree pointing off the Sun. The movie covers 7 years of data, from May 2007 to August 2014.
A plethora of solar wind phenomena can be seen, from comets with their two tails to solar storms and high speed solar wind streams. Once in a while, planets such as Venus or Mercury, visible as very bright dots, cross the camera field of view. Rings that accompany the planets are artifacts.
This data has been processed by the team at Rutherford Appleton Laboratoy in the UK under lead of R. A. Harrison and J. A. Davies. The data can be found at:http://www.stereo.rl.ac.uk
Catalogs of e.g. solar storms and results of various models applied to the data can be found here:
This movie was stitched together from monthly movies by Christian Möstl, IWF Graz, Austria, using Apple iMovie.
