NASA | Thermonuclear Art - The Sun In Ultra-HD (4K)

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 SO 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.
