SAM soft X-ray (failed)
ANNOUNCE from LASP: We’re sad to report that EVE MEGS-A / SAM data stream has ended on Monday May 26, 2014 due to a power anomaly for MEGS-A CCD electronics. With the SAM images being from MEGS-A CCD, both SAM solar X-ray images and MEGS-A spectra (6-37 nm) are not available now.

NOTE: this processed image acted as a replacement for the SAM X-ray data which is unavailable due to a technical failure. As the new GOES satellites no longer have an X-Ray imager (SXI), this image will not be updated.

HMI images
The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (or HMI) studies the oscillations and the magnetic field at the solar surface. It observes the full solar disk at 6173 A with a resolution of 1 arcsecond. HMI is a successor to the Michelson Doppler Imager on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
The Michelson Doppler Imager or (MDI) images are taken in the continuum near the Ni I 6768 Angstrom line. The most prominent features in them are the sunspots. This is very much how the Sun looks like in the visible range of the spectrum.
