133 Days on the Sun (Solar activity from Aug. 12 to Dec. 22, 2022 )

This 59-minute video chronicles 133 days of solar activity, from August 12 to December 22, 2022, as captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The video shows the Sun's chaotic surface, where great loops of plasma arch above the star along magnetic field lines. Sometimes the looping plasma reconnects to the star, and other times it's ejected into space, creating hazardous space weather.
The video is a stunning visual representation of the Sun's power and dynamism. It also provides a glimpse into the processes that drive space weather, which can have a significant impact on Earth.
