Demonstrating the Strength of AIA [HD Video]
A series of movies that illustrate the power of the AIA to show regions of heating and cooling. The first movies are shown in colors from blue to red, which span temperatures from 1,000,000K to 2,600,000K. The second spans the temperatures from 2,600,000K to 10,000,000K. To convert from K to F multiply by 1.8.
