The most recent, most in-depth movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is really captivating.
The SDO, which was launched in 2010, continuously tracks the Sun to learn more about how it affects our planet. SDO films the sun in ten different wavelengths to demonstrate the varying temperatures of solar components. These sets of wavelengths have been compiled into a video released this week.
The 30-minute film features a soundtrack from German composer Lars Leonhard titled ‘Deep Venture,’ and, as NASA puts it “presents the nuclear fire of our life-giving star in intimate detail, offering new perspective into our own relationships with grand forces of the solar system.” So sit back and enjoy the most detailed video yet of the giant ball of energy at the center of our solar system.
