We all know how much loves technology. So it’s no surprise that they released a new 30 minute video of the sun in glorious 4K. The video was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), launched in 2010.
“SDO captures images of the Sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material,” NASA’s YouTube channel explains. “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.”
The video to 300 hours to assemble. A team of 10 media scientists took 10 hours to create just 1 minute of video footage. But as you can tell by watching it it was certainly worth the effort.
