There are many forms of space weather-related data and animations. Here are a few of the more interesting ones! IMAGE Movie Gallery - This NASA mission has collected together a number of data and animation 'fly throughs' to highlight the various components to Earth's plasma and magnetic environment. Radiation Belts and Trapped Particles - This website at NASA features computer-generated models of particles moving within Earth's magnetic field, showing the formation of the Ring Current. Coronal Mass Ejections - The LASCO instrument on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite produces some spectacular data movies of solar outbursts. The Solar Surface - These EIT movies obtained by the SoHO satellite show the complex changes in solar gases as the sun rotates. The Solar Corona - The Yohkoh Satellite studied the x-ray light from hot gases in the solar corona, and produced a variety of interesting movies of its changes in time. Earth's Magnetosphere I - This is a computer-generated calculation of changes in Earth's magnetic field during storm events. Earth's Magnetosphere II - This is a real-time calculation of the shape of the magnetosphere based on current space weather conditions. Various movies from ThinkQuest - These include solar and magnetospheric movies and data. Aurora Movies I - These movies are hard to find because many of the finest ones are copyrighted and cost thousands of dollars per minute to license. Here are a few free movies online to wet your appetite! Aurora with a Camcorder! - Taken from Nome Alaska. It's very rough but gives you an idea of what real-time aurora look like.
More movies to come!
