    Hi,

    Just heard about this today. An ESA project called Helioviewer and it is visualization software for solar image data. Details on ESA site (www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMYTMRRJHG_index_0.html). Makes nice movies etc.

    From ESA site (www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMYTMRRJHG_index_0.html):
    New software developed by ESA makes available online to everyone, everywhere at anytime, the entire library of images from the SOHO solar and heliospheric observatory. Just download the viewer and begin exploring the Sun.

    JHelioviewer is new visualisation software that enables everyone to explore the Sun. Developed as part of the ESA/NASA Helioviewer Project, it provides a desktop program that enables users to call up images of the Sun from the past 15 years.

    More than a million images from SOHO can already be accessed, and new images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory are being added every day. The downloadable JHelioviewer is complemented by the website Helioviewer.org, a web-based image browser.

    Using this new software, users can create their own movies of the Sun, colour the images as they wish, and image-process the movies in real time. They can export their finished movies in various formats, and track features on the Sun by compensating for solar rotation.
    Web based version (www.helioviewer.org) and download more comprehensive tool (jhelioviewer.org). From the wiki:
    The aim of the Helioviewer Project is to enable exploration of the Sun and the inner heliosphere for everyone, everywhere via intuitive interfaces and novel technology. The project is split into two main development efforts:

    Front-end: Helioviewer Browse Clients
    • Helioviewer.org - A web application for visualizing solar images and feature/event data in the web browser.
    • JHelioviewer - A Java/OpenGL application for visualizing time series of solar images and feature/event data.
    • hvTouch - mobile platform applications using Helioviewer Project capabilities.
    From what I've seen it's nice.
    B.
