Title:
SOHO/LASCO View of January 2005 Solar Events
Instrument:
SOHO/EIT
Instrument:
SOHO/LASCO/C2
Instrument:
SOHO/LASCO/C3
Description:
The LASCO imagers are quickly saturated by hits from solar protons.
Abstract:
The January 20 flare began just before 2 a.m. ET. A storm of energetic protons impacted Earth just 15 minutes later. These views of the flare are from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The proton storm near Earth causes `snow' in the images, obscuring the Sun as radiation swamps the cameras. The structure at the 1:30 position in the SOHO/LASCO/C3 data is the occulting disk pylon.
