A Mesmerizing NASA Video Shows Sun In Intimate Detail
- 8 years ago
NASA recently released an ultra-high definition video (4K) showing the nuclear fire of our sun in stunning detail.
NASA has released a video of the sun and its detail is beyond stunning.
Shown in ultra-HD (4K), our star spits thermonuclear fire as waves of flame dance across the undulating surface.
Specific colors have been assigned to 10 different wavelengths of light in order to single out distinct temperatures of solar material.
The detail captured in the video is part of a painstaking process—NASA's media specialists work around 10 hours to complete just a single minute of the remarkable footage.
The images were captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, an orbiter that keeps constant watch on our star.
