EST Solarpedia

The EST Solarpedia is an open educational resource offered by the European Solar Telescope project for use by the teaching community and the general public. It contains 461 infographics organised in 15 main categories and 63 subcategories, dealing with a wide range of solar topics, from the Sun as a star, its properties, layers, and physical processes, to the eruptive Sun, Sun-Earth relations and space weather. It also pays attention to historic and societal aspects.

The infographics included in the Solarpedia were prepared by international teams of students participating in the EST School Contest "The Sun at a glance". They are provided as high-resolution files and have been reviewed by solar physicists from the EST consortium, to ensure they meet the minimum quality requirements.
