Lockheed Martin Solar & Astrophysics Lab: Daily Solar Events
published by the Lockheed Martin Solar & Astrophysics Lab
This website, updated daily. provides images and information on the Sun's active regions, using data acquired from three different satellites which detect sunspot and solar flare activity. Images of sunspot activity can be viewed in visible light, extreme ultraviolet, solar ultraviolet, and x-ray frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. In introductory astronomy courses, different solar phenomena are best observed at different frequencies. This resource can promote understanding of how scientists use satellite images and accompanying graphs to better understand solar processes that may result in space weather events on Earth.

Disciplinary Core Ideas (K-12)

Electromagnetic Radiation (PS4.B)
  • Atoms of each element emit and absorb characteristic frequencies of light. These characteristics allow identification of the presence of an element, even in microscopic quantities. (9-12)
The Universe and its Stars (ESS1.A)
  • The star called the sun is changing and will burn out over a lifespan of approximately 10 billion years. (9-12)

Crosscutting Concepts (K-12)

Patterns (K-12)
  • Different patterns may be observed at each of the scales at which a system is studied and can provide evidence for causality in explanations of phenomena. (9-12)
