Welcome to the PROBA2 Science Center

On Thursday 11th of April, an energetic M6.5 flare erupted from the Sun.

It occurred slightly north east of the center of the solar disk, and therefore a strong candidate for being directed to Earth.

Below are provided a SWAP difference image and video, as well as the LYRA curves, for this occurrence.
 

October 19th

On October 19th, a rather spectacular prominence eruption occurred on the south limb (see images below).

A magnificent filament eruption occurred on Friday 31st around 19:40 (see picture below; movies of the whole eruption can be found here). The erupting filament can be seen traveling in the South-East direction. At the time of this image, the erupting filament is extending out of the SDO/AIA field of view.

On July 31st, the PROBA2 Science Working Team defined the SWAP/LYRA Guest Investigator Program for 2012-2013.

The selected candidates and their study subjects are presented on the following web page:

Congratulations to the selectees - we're looking forward to work with you all.

A solar prominence/filament, 'sitting' on the North-East limb, erupted on Thu 24th, around 20:45.
