Syntax error Plotting solar image in Python

Plotting solar image in Python

In Python provides SunPy package for create solar image. In this package has different files which are solar data of proton/electron fluxes from various solar observatory and solar labs.

Using pip install sunpy command, we can install sunpy package.

Here we plot a sample AIA image. AIA is Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. This is another instrument board of the SDO.

Here we use sunpy.Map() function to create a map from one of the supported data products.

Example code

import sunpy.map
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import sunpy.data.sample
my_aia = sunpy.map.Map(sunpy.data.sample.AIA_171_IMAGE)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111, projection=my_aia)
my_aia.plot()
my_aia.draw_limb()
my_aia.draw_grid()
my_aia.draw_limb()
plt.colorbar()
plt.show()

Output
