Solar Activity in Ultraviolet: SDO AIA 131 Å Image from May 22, 2013 #1421431 (License: Personal Use)

Captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) at the 131 Å wavelength, this image highlights million-degree plasma in the Sun’s corona. Bright regions indicate intense magnetic activity, with visible solar flares and coronal loops erupting from active sunspot groups. The teal color is a false-color representation to enhance contrast and scientific interpretation.

Used in space weather reports, astronomy education, and solar physics articles; ideal for illustrating solar dynamics, flare events, or coronal heating mechanisms. Matches user intent for high-resolution solar imagery, science communication, or classroom resources.
