NASA Releases 4K-HD Video Of Our Sun
 
   
 

 
   
NASA has created a 4-K- ultra-high definition video of our Sun. The amazing, breathtaking 30-minute video of the Sun was put together from data captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

The SDO observes the Sun 24 hours a day. SDO captured images of the sun in ten different wavelengths.

"As a pair of active regions began to rotate into view, their towering magnetic field lines above them bloomed into a dazzling display of twisting arches (Oct. 27-28, 2015). Some of the lines reached over and connected with the neighboring active region. Active regions are usually the source of solar storms. The images were taken in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA."

NASA put it all together in 4K resolution, creating an image of the Sun never seen before.
