This project uses only one of the AIA wavelengths: the 30.4 nanometers (nm) filter. In this filter, jets are generally brighter than the average brightness of the Sun, which make them easier to spot in images or videos. However, many jets can be seen in more than one AIA filter, indicating that the jet plasma contains components at several different temperatures
