Subject: Looking for Some Fairly Hir-es Images of the Sun
|
Our museum is in need of some fairly hi-res images of the sun for an outdoor
display. Preferrably these should be from a NASA or govt. agency. They
probably need three, possibly sun spots, prominences, and solar flares. Any
suggestions on fairly dramatic shots? Maybe Astro Pix of the Day?

No, go to a real observatory, Kitt Peak.
