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.
