Abstract

During 1965 two rockets were launched in order to obtain monochromatic pictures of the Sun in the Mg ii line at 2802.7 A. The Mg ii filterheliograms have been compared with simultaneous Hα and Ca ii K spectroheliograms. An important observation from both flights concerns the relative intensities of different active regions. In the Hα pictures there are old fairly faint active regions and newly formed more intense regions. In the Mg ii pictures, however, the older regions appear more intense than the younger regions.
