Synopsis
Push-in to a region of the Sun to witness a 'solar tsunami' after a flare event. The tsunami moves hot gas (bright) out of the region, revealing cooler regions (darker) below. This view rotates on the push-in to keep the region of the flare event visible (to the left in the final frame). Note: Closeup view of the tsunami (with rotation). Data Collected: 1998-06-13T10:00:01 - 1998-06-13T19:51:26. Animator: Tom Bridgman (GST). Scientist: Craig DeForest (SwRI), Meredith Wills-Davey (SwRI). Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: SOHO/Extreme-UV Imaging Telescope (EIT), SOHO/Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI), TRACE, SOHO/Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI)/Continuum.
