THE SUN IN ACTION



The Sun is a very dynamic object. Variations in solar features occur on time-scales from milliseconds to millennia. The pages featured below illustrate some aspects of our ever-changing Sun. Some of these pages are kept up-to-date to show the recent behavior and current conditions on the Sun. Other pages demonstrate examples of characteristic behavior.
