A Decade of sun ☀️
As of June 2020, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory
- SDO
- has now been watching the Sun non-stop for over a full
decade. From its orbit in space around the Earth, SDO has
gathered 425 million high-resolution images of the Sun
amassing 20 million gigabytes of data over the past 10 years.
This information has enabled countless new discoveries about
the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar
system.
With a triad of instruments, SDO captures an image of the Sun
every 0.75 seconds. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA)
instrument alone captures images every 12 seconds at 10
different wavelengths of light. This 10-year time lapse
showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers,
which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the
Sun's outermost atmospheric layer - the corona. Compiling
one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the
Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in
activity that occurs as part of the Sun's 11-year solar cycle andnotable events, like transiting planets and eruptions. The
custom music, titled "Solar Observer" was composed bymusician Lars Leonard
