The sun is always shining brightly and radiating light and energy that impact weather, biology, and more. Besides sustaining life on Earth, the sun also emits a constant stream of particles known as the solar wind. Occasionally, it releases massive clouds of solar material called coronal mass ejections, along with bursts of X-rays known as solar flares. These occurrences can even affect the space environment at the far reaches of our solar system.
To monitor our closest star round the clock, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) operates in space. The SDO captures the sun's images using ten different wavelengths, each revealing various temperatures of solar material. This video provides an unparalleled glimpse of the sun through SDO's detailed images. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video showcases the dynamic movements of extremely hot material on the life-sustaining star, offering an up-close look at the powerful forces within our solar system.
