On 8 May 2024, a solar active region which had been assigned the NOAA region number 13664 (AR3664) produced an X1.0-class and multiple M-class solar flares and launched several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. [6] On 9 May, the active region produced an X2.25- and X1.12-class flare each associated with a full-halo CME.
On 31 October 2013, calibrated IRIS data and images were released on the project website. [10] An open-access article describing the satellite and initial data was published in the journal Solar Physics. [11] Data collected from the IRIS spacecraft has shown that the interface region of the Sun is significantly more complex than previously ...
The mission was planned to create infrared images of 99% of the sky, with at least eight images made of each position on the sky in order to increase accuracy. The spacecraft was placed in a 525 km (326 mi), circular, polar, Sun-synchronous orbit for its ten-month mission, during which it has taken 1.5 million images, one every 11 seconds. [ 19 ]
