1,000 days of the sun in three minutes




In the spring of 2010, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, provided its first views of the sun. Since then the spacecraft has had virtually unbroken coverage of our star, capturing one image every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths.
This video is a time-lapse sequence of SDO observations that spans three years in the life of the sun.
