Make solar observations in this interactive data-viewer tool developed by NASA. Access authentic satellite data, view images of solar events, and create your own videos of solar features and activity in near-real time or any time from the past two full solar cycles. Use this resource to visualize solar phenomena at different time and spatial scales and to provide opportunities to make evidence-based claims about the Sun’s dynamic nature.

Support materials include: Background Reading, Teaching Tips, and Discussion Questions. This resource was developed through WGBH’s Bringing the Universe to America’s Classrooms project, in collaboration with NASA.
