The Sun - extreme UV - 171 Å - 1,000,000 K Click on the image for the sun in different frequencies! Try Multi-Frequency Sun for a fun time!

Occasionally, Planets can be seen. The random streaks are Cosmic Ray Strikes

  Solar Flux -a measure of the energy coming to us from the sun,shows how active the sun is
