SOHO Pick of the Week – 2 Oct 2001: Long Proton Event
Higher resolution version (TIF, 2.9M)
A solar flare and coronal mass ejection began a high energy proton
event that pelted the SOHO spacecraft for over three days (September
24-26, 2001). The sun is observed in extreme ultraviolet light – the
proton hits appear as white snowy particles.
