NASA | Thermonuclear Art _ The Sun In Ultra HD (4K) Its always shinning, 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. #nasa #spacestation #thermonuclearart #solarsystem #solarflare #solardynamics #solarsystem #coronalmass #thermonuclearart #nasa #spacestation #sun

The view of life in space is getting a major boost with the introduction of 4K Ultra High _ Definition (UHD) video, providing an unprecedented look at what it's like to live and work aboard the International Space Station. #spacestation #space #nasa #lifeinspace #workinspace #spaceactivities #earthviewfromspace #spacestation #internationalspacestation #nasa

On April 17, 2016, an active region on the sun's right side released a mid-level solar flare, captured here by NASA's solar Dynamics Observatory. This solar flare caused moderate radio blackouts, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Scientists study active regions _ which are areas of intense magnetism _ to better understand why they sometimes erupt with such flares. #nasa #solarflare #spacestation #infraredtelescope #hubbletelescope #solarflare #scientist #space #nasa

This visualization traverses the CANDLES Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field to showcase the varied appearances of galaxies and their three-dimensional distribution. The sequence features a dense cluster of galaxies about 6 billion light-years away and extends to galaxies at more than twice that distance. Because the light from these galaxies has travelled for billions of years across space, the images show the galaxies as they appeared billions of year ago. In addition, the expansion of space has redshifted the light of these galaxies towards longer wavelengths (i.e., to the red end of the visible-light region and into the infrared-light region). #flightthroughcandels #galaxies #lighttravel #lightdistance #flightthroughcandels #SPACE #NASA #visiblelight #infraredlight #spacestation #space #galaxies

moon phases 2021 this 4k visualization shows the moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2021, as viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the Moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, and distance from the Earth at true scale. Craters near the terminator are labeled, as are Apollo landing sites, maria, and other albedo features in sunlight. #moonphases #southernhemisphere #moonphases #moonorbit #moonphases #apollo #space #moonphases
