In future, it should be possible to click a link and download the actual raw data files being visualized, so scientists could work with them locally. The JHelioviewer team wants to change that. Right now, you can view and visualize solar images in and JHelioviewerbut do not have direct access to the actual raw instrument data. So what’s next? Here are some new things to look for as the Helioviewer Project goes forward. “Some member of the public, some citizen scientist, found this.” (It’s actually electrically charged plasma caught up in twisted magnetic fields.) Check out this tornado-like feature on the sun by a non-scientist playing with and uploaded to YouTube. A growing number of time-lapse solar videos made using Helioviewer are now found on YouTube. “The reaction has been, ‘This is really cool I’d like to see more.'”Ĭitizen scientists have begun to play with the tools, too. So far, solar scientists who have seen the Helioviewer Project’s Web app ( ) and downloadable software ( JHelioviewer) are intrigued, says Helioviewer Project co-founder Jack Ireland. This final post in the series looks at the what’s coming next from the Helioviewer Project. Previous posts explained the origins and aims of the Helioviewer Project, and the basics of a Web-based app called. New interactive visualization tools developed by the NASA/European Space Agency (ESA) Helioviewer Project allow scientists and the general public to explore images captured by solar observing spacecraft.
