Our sun ... as you've never seen it before! You'll want to full-screen this one. From the video comments:
It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive
weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth,
the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar
wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material,
called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar
flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very
edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory,
or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of
the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a
different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience
SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high
definition, the video presents the dance of the ultra-hot material on
our life-giving star in extraordinary detail, offering an intimate view
of the grand forces of the solar system.
