The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager will use a technique called "helioseismology" to gaze through the sun at internal processes that will help us to understand the origins of solar weather. The imager was built by Stanford University and the Lockheed Martin Solar Astrophysics Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
