TRACE
Image of TRACE

The TRACE satellite views the Sun at ultraviolet wavelengths with high temporal (approximately 1-12 seconds) and spatial (1 arcsecond per pixel) resolution. Launched on April 2, 1998, it orbits the Earth in a Sun-synchronous orbit.

For more information about TRACE, visit the home pages at Goddard Space Flight Center and Lockheed-Martin Solar & Astrophysics Labs.

Movie   ID   Title
A synchronous play of SOHO/EIT (left) and TRACE (right) imagery from the 2003 Halloween Solar Storms.   3535   Halloween Storms 2003: SOHO/EIT and TRACE at 195 Ångstroms
This version of the movie includes <b>ALL</b> TRACE data frames, including cases where the spacecraft re-points for short times. This makes the movie jump around considerably more than the 'smooth' version.   3435   Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO): Data Collection Comparison

The PFSS model is a poor match for the TRACE coronal loops.   3212   Space Weather Forecasting: Active Times Ahead
In this case, we see the PFSS model matches the TRACE coronal loops very well.   3211   Space Weather Forecasting: Quiet Times Ahead
Closeup of AR 10720. Blue high-energy emission marks the footpoints of the coronal loops. The lower-energy red emission is from the loop structure. See note below under ImageMods.   3162   RHESSI and TRACE View of January 20, 2005 Solar Flare
