The Sun from the SDO 2012-02-15

This montage shows the Sun this morning as seen from the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The one in the upper left is from the 4500Å filter. It shows the photosphere of the Sun, or the light-emitting surface. There are some obvious sun spots in the northeast and another group in the southwest. The other three images are composites made from combinations of data sets acquired by various filters on the SDO satellite.
