Incredible Video From NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory: A 5-Year Time-Lapse of the Sun
I’ve been getting swarmed by creationists and right wing science-deniers today on Twitter, so here’s some amazing science to take away that nasty reactionary taste.
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) celebrates its 5th anniversary since it launched on February 11, 2010. This time-lapse video captures one frame every 8 hours starting when data became available in June 2010 and finishing February 8, 2015.
The different colors represent the various wavelengths (sometimes blended, sometimes alone) in which SDO observes the sun.
