The first lecture in the 2011 Exploring Space Lecture Series featured Dean Pesnell, Project Scientist for the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). SDO is designed to help us better understand how the Sun works and how it influences our lives. From the very start of its mission, SDO revealed incredible views of erupting prominences and flares with amazing clarity. Learn how SDO will change how we see the Sun inside and out! Presented as a live webcast on Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 8pm ET at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.

How is NASA planning to get fantastic, comprehensive images of the Sun without damage to the agency cornea? Quite simply, the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO.) Jammed with high tech instruments such as the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA,) EUV Variability Experiment (EVE) and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI,) SDO will provide over a terabyte of solar data every day. Chris goes over the scientific details with Glenn Bock, while Emilie Drobnes and Camilla the Rubber Chicken help Blair learn to Live with a Star. Check them out here: www.nasa.gov

The Autonomous Star Trackers provide attitude data and motion rate of the satellite. They are based on a radiation hardened design and proprietary algorithms that ensure accurate and robust 3-axes attitude determination. These same instruments most recently flew onboard NASA's Messenger and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observed an unusual event on the sun: An erupting cloud of plasma was eclipsed by a dark magnetic filament. The source of the explosion is a farside active region due to turn toward Earth in a few days. For now, though, the blast site lies just behind the sun's eastern limb--perfectly situated for this rare kind of eclipse. Note the filament of relatively cool dark material snaking across the sun's surface in the foreground. That filament partially blocks our view of hot plasma exploding behind it. By studying how the light of the explosion is filtered by the foreground material, SDO mission scientists might be able to learn something new about dark filaments on the sun.

Soon after the instruments opened their doors, the Sun began performing for SDO with this beautiful prominence eruption. This AIA data is from March 30, 2010, showing a wavelength band that is centered around 304 �. This extreme ultraviolet emission line is from singly ionized Helium, or He II, and corresponds to a temperature of approx. 50000 degrees Celsius.

Solar flares are classified according to their strength. The smallest ones are B-class, followed by C, M and X, the largest. A powerful X-class flare can create long lasting radiation storms, which can harm satellites, communications systems, and even ground-based technologies and power grids. Credit: NASA SDO

This is truly an impressive animation. It shows the 5 day time lapse formation of massive sunspot group 1158 from nothing. What's neat is how the perspective is maintained. I've never seen anything like this. Less than a week ago, sunspot 1158 didn't exist. Now it is wider than the planet Jupiter and unleashing the strongest solar flares since Dec. 2006, including an X-class solar flare.

February 11, 2009 - Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Atlas V roared to life Thursday morning to send the Solar Dynamics Observatory into space on its mission to evaluate the complex mechanisms of the sun. Liftoff came on-time at 10:23 am EST from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Florida's Atlantic Coast. The SDO spacecraft is in good shape midway through the launch phase that will eventually place it in an elongated orbit reaching more than 21000 miles high. Eventually, SDO's orbit will be circularized and will reach about 22300 miles in what is called geosynchronous orbit. From that altitude, the spacecraft will point its instruments at the sun and relay the readings instantly to a ground station in New Mexico. The research is expected to reveal the sun's inner workings by constantly taking high resolution images of the sun, collecting readings from inside the sun and measuring its magnetic field activity. This data is expected to give researchers the insight they need to eventually predict solar storms and other activity on the sun that can affect spacecraft in orbit, astronauts on the International Space Station and electronic and other systems on Earth.

A brief background on AIA: The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is designed to provide an unprecedented view of the solar corona, taking images that span at least 1.3 solar diameters in multiple wavelengths nearly simultaneously, at a resolution of ~ 1.2 arcsec and at a cadence of 10 s. The primary goal of the AIA Science Investigation is to use these data, together with data from other SDO instruments and from other observatories, to significantly improve our understanding of the physics behind the activity displayed by the Sun's atmosphere, which drives space weather in the heliosphere and in planetary environments. The AIA will produce data required for quantitative studies of the evolving coronal magnetic field, and the plasma that it holds, both in quiescent phases and during flares and eruptions; the AIA science investigation aims to utilize these data in a comprehensive research program to provide new understanding of the observed processes and, ultimately, to guide development of advanced forecasting tools needed by the user community of the Living With a Star (LWS) program. Solar activity is driven by the evolving magnetic field. Although the coronal magnetic field cannot be measured directly, much of the magnetic field within a few times 105 km from the surface contains hot plasma that is dense enough to emit detectable levels of light. This plasma is (mostly) frozen onto the field lines, so that the emission from (or <b>...</b>

"First Light" images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, a space telescope designed to study the sun.Launched on February 11th from Cape Canaveral.moment SDO's telescope doors opened, it began beaming back. Richard Fisher, director of the Heliophysics Division at NASA,said SDO will change our understanding of the sun and its processes, which affect our lives and society. This mission will have a huge impact on science, similar to Hubble Space Telescope on modern astrophysics. The suns internal dynamics were the subject of intense interest over the last few years as the normal waxing and waning of solar activity did not follow past cycles as closely as anticipated. The solar minimum of 2008 stretched deep into 2009, raising questions about how well we understand the complex internal dynamics that drive sun spots, solar flares and coronal-mass ejections. Because solar storms can disrupt human technologies, its important to know when we might expect a serious event that could shut down the electrical grid.

As Comet Lovejoy moves toward perihelion this evening we will point SDO a little to the left of the Sun to try and see the tail of the comet in our telescopes. This website will allow you to see those images and flip through them looking for the comet. sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov Select a wavelength on the right and a new window will open with the images available for that wavelength. The Sun will be on the right side of the window. The comet should move from the lower left corner and go behind the Sun a little above the equator. Images from SDO are available soon after they are observed, but it takes about 30 minutes to move from the spacecraft to our computer at Goddard. We plan to off-point at 23:30 UTC (6:30 pm ET) and return to normal solar observing at 12/16 00:30 UTC (7:30 pm ET). We should see images starting by 7 pm ET.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has eclipse seasons twice a year near each equinox. For three weeks near midnight Las Cruces time (about 0700 UT) our orbit has the Earth pass between SDO and the Sun. These eclipses can last up to 72 minutes in the middle of an eclipse season. The current eclipse season started on September 11 and lasts until October 4. The continuous contact with the ground station our orbit allows was judged to outweigh the loss of some images.
