For a decade, NASA analyzed the
behavior of the Sun
from the
telescope
space
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
, a mission of the American and European space agency.
In this way, the SDO telescope recorded during
ten years
nail
425 million images
, some
20 million gigabytes of information
, an impressive number of records, NASA published on its YouTube channel a
time-lapse
that collects all this content with a video of more than an hour long.
“With this compilation, each photo represents one hour of observation, and this video condenses
a decade of the Sun in 61 minutes
“NASA said, highlighting the rise and fall of solar activity, accompanied by some notable events, such as transiting planets and solar flares.
For example, in the
minute 12:24
you see the step of
Venus
by the front of the Sun in 2012 or the different episodes of solar explosions and eruptions. In turn, the video also records some missing images with black screens, caused by the passage of the Earth or the Moon, or by problems in the instruments of the probe in 2016.
