I am a regular at
https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/space-weather-enthusiastsI just noticed today that the formerly crunchy low resolution x-ray view of the sun has been replaced by the GOES-16 SUVI images on a three hour loop. This has a 195 Angstrom view of the sun in great detail, so you can immediately see where the holes are forming in the corona.
Solar weather enthusiasts don’t need to go to the solar dynamics observatory page all the time to see what the last three hours looked like.
Thanks for the tip, Jake!
Other GOES-16 SUVI images are available at https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/goes-solar-ultraviolet-imager-suvi
The update rate of these images is great for examining flares and even prominences in detail. And for those who just want the plain solar news, there is a thematic map if you scroll down to the bottom of the screens on the right. It is a great overview of what these various wavelengths mean.
