NASA Captures Sun’s Dazzling Beauty In 4K Ultra HD

2

Using hundreds of thousands of images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which keeps an eye on the sun 24/7, a team of NASA scientists has put together a fascinating 30-minute 4K resolution video of the sun in action. The SDO captures images of the star every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths of ultraviolet light. As is described in the beginning of the video, each solar image captured by the SDO is eight times the resolution of HD video. Each of the 10 wavelengths is assigned a unique color, with every variation helping to “highlight a different temperature of solar material”. It took a team of video technicians about 10 hours to make one minute of footage – meaning this incredible 4K video of the Sun took NASA 300 Hours to make.

NASA says the breathtaking video “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”.

“SDO captures images of the Sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video we experience images of the Sun in unprecedented detail captured by SDO. Presented in ultra-high definition video (4K) the video 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.”

    • I can’t believe, or suppose I can anon is spreading nasa’s BS. ANON supposed to expose the truth. The sun is not this. Nasa knows there are no planets to explore and have been spreading “leaked” fakery everywhere lately. Observe the moon, really, it’s not even solid. It’s a crystalline disk. There’s no outer space. Propulsion systems wouldn’t even work in the supposed vacuum of space. Please quit it already. Screw you ANON, you officially suck.
