Opening with a view of the Sun visible from SOHO, we move around to the eastern limb (as seen from Earth) where we see the farside data constructed by helioseismology studies.   During the movie, several sunspot groups move from the farside to the Earthside of the Sun. 3336 The Visible Sun Revisited

A view of the plasmasphere above the north geographic pole. 3050 Tour of the Plasmasphere and Plasmapause
As particle-induced electric fields increase, the low-energy electrons of the plasmasphere are convected towards the magnetopause, depleting the region near the Earth and enabling the hotter particles from the radiation belts to move closer to the Earth. 3049 Radiation Belts and Plasmapause Fluctuate Under Solar Storm
During the pre-storm time, the inner region of the belts has a relatively low particle flux and for this scaling of the data, a distinct inner belt is not visible as a separate structure. 3048 Earth's Radiation Belts Tremble Under Impact of Solar Storm
A rendering of the model of the Earths magnetosphere.  The flat ribbons represent charged particles entering the influence of the magnetosphere and being deflected.  The curved lines visible to the right represent the magnetic field lines extending out from the Earth.  The force from the sun pushes these lines into a distinctive tail-like shape.  Finally, the green surface represents a constant value for the magnetic field strength. 3028 A 3-Dimensional Model of the Magnetosphere (WMS)
