Something new under the Sun? Indeed! Images from two of SOHO's
instruments have been given a whole new look. The original files have
been processed using an algorithm that allows the visualization of
much sharper features than those in the raw images. The results are
striking, revealing structures that have never been seen before in the
originals. In a major processing effort, the new "wavelet" processing
has been applied to virtually all of the EIT 195 and LASCO C2 images
and made into MPEG movies. The samples above show the original movies
and the wavelet movies side by side.
More detailed explanation of
this process can be found here:

SOHO began its Weekly Pick some time after
sending a weekly image or video clip to the American Museum of Natural
History (Rose Center) in New York City. There, the SOHO Weekly Pick is
displayed with some annotations on a large plasma display.
If your institution would also like to receive the same Weekly Pick from us
for display (usually in Photoshop or QuickTime format), please send
your inquiry to steele.hill@gsfc.nasa.gov.
