Check Out NASA’s Crazy Time-Lapse of the Sun Featuring 425 Million Images

Jul. 5, 2020

NASA does some prettyamazing worksto showcase the space with its various satellites and telescopes. A few months ago, we sawNASA release a picture of Jupiterthat looks like a piece of modern art. Now, the space organization has released a video that shows a decade’s activity on the Sun’s surface.

The video (below), titled “A Decade of Sun”, is 61 minutes long and has beenproduced by using high-resolution imagery recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)spacecraft over the past decade.

The video is pretty darn cool as you can observe the Sun’s “Corona”, which is the outermost layer of the star’s atmosphere that burns and shines 24 x 7 x 365.

Now,SDO captured an image every 0.75 seconds that add up to a whopping 425 million photosoccupying 20 million gigabytes of data!

Although humans have already traveled to space, the star is still very alien to us even though we literally see it every day. So,the tracking not only looks cool but it is also beneficial in understanding the Sun’s behaviorand its effects on the solar system.

All in all, the video is quite epic to watch and sometimes even gives chills. There is also an appropriate background score to give you that interstellar feel. And it is composed by a Germany-based music composer, Lars Leonhard.
