NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory released breathtaking close-up footage of solar flares, revealing the Sun as a complex network of blazing plasma loops and turbulent magnetic fields. The new video captures dark filaments cutting across bright, twisting arcs as massive bursts of energy erupt and constantly reshape in real time. To appreciate the scale: the Sun spans about 1.39 million kilometres in diameter, roughly 109 times the size of Earth. What may appear as tiny sparks in the footage are a

In its 10 years observing the Sun, our Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite has gathered over 425 million high-resolution images of our star. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer — the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 1

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has been watching the sun non-stop since 2010. It captures a image of the sun every .75 seconds. This video is a timelapse covering the first 10 years of operation. You will notice the sun activity wax and wane as it goes through its solar cycles. If you look closely you can see both the moon and the earth eclipse the image as it passes between the SDO and the sun. #space #heliophysics #solarflare #timelapse 📸 NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/SDO
