About footages in the video:

1,826 days in space, 2,600 terabytes of data, 200 million images.
Every 12 sec., NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory images the sun in 10 wavelengths of invisible ultraviolet light. Each wavelength is assigned a unique color and every image is 8 times the resolution of HD video.
A team of media specialists worked about 10 hours to create 1 minute of this footage.
