A Decade of Sun
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2020
- As of June 2020, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory - SDO - has now been watching the Sun non-stop for over a full decade. From its orbit in space around the Earth, SDO has gathered 425 million high-resolution images of the Sun, amassing 20 million gigabytes of data over the past 10 years. This information has enabled countless new discoveries about the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar system.
With a triad of instruments, SDO captures an image of the Sun every 0.75 seconds. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument alone captures images every 12 seconds at 10 different wavelengths of light. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer - the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle and notable events, like transiting planets and eruptions. The custom music, titled “Solar Observer,” was composed by musician Lars Leonhard (www.lars-leonhard.de/).
While SDO has kept an unblinking eye pointed towards the Sun, there have been a few moments it missed. The dark frames in the video are caused by Earth or the Moon eclipsing SDO as they pass between the spacecraft and the Sun. A longer blackout in 2016 was caused by a temporary issue with the AIA instrument that was successfully resolved after a week. The images where the Sun is off-center were observed when SDO was calibrating its instruments.
SDO and other NASA missions will continue to watch our Sun in the years to come, providing further insights about our place in space and information to keep our astronauts and assets safe.

@@fox8721 I couldn't spot Mercury!
Yeah me neither
Makes you feel lucky that our star is so incredibly stable.
I'm just glad we have an atmosphere! Let's take good care of it.
Otherwise i dont think we would be here.
Blessed
We are living in a simulation

Quite an Eye
That was my flying saucer! =8^P
Also partial at 56:55
what is solar eclipse?
@@LeonThePious you're joking right ?
I got married at 2:48 and divorced at 53:58. That's how I got burnt in this decade.
Ditto - I laughed out load. A funny comment amongst many smart & funny posts
Hahahaha
Things may have improved had you just been more patient. 51 minutes is not long enough.
Me too.
hahahhaha
I applaud all who dedicated themselves to that huge work
🤣🤣
I applaud anyone who watched that for over an hour 🤣
23:18 hits different
why lol
@@neros12346 so active
magnetic field untangling itself
Name Last Name wow
lame
That must have taken a decade
Thx @BranS, I needed a good laugh.
69 likes
Naw just ten years
@@spambox8199 That's almost a decade
So close but not quite it was actually 9 years, 11 months, and 29 days
this took 10 years to make don't let it flop 🥵
No flares in north and south pols. interesting, every rotation is 27 days
Is this real??
Yeah, it's from at least ten years ago. Heh heh
@@shechaiyah6869 let it flop just because A TURK OR OTTERMAN PUTS A MOON IN FLAG will not say........ burn.
4 mil views ain't too shabby
A lot of dark spots. That's where I'd land. Not as hot.
Hilarious!
You could just go at night.
hysuka2 yea cuz it’s close at night
😂😂😂 Pro mad
Just go there at night
Somebody should make a wallpaper for wallpaper engine using this.
I uploaded some. Search for "NASA Sun Time Lapse" or "A Decade of Sun" !
That would be beautiful
You could be that somebody!
12:24 Transit of Venus
How do you know what is venus? Could be Mercury? 🤔
why is it dark?
I think, İt must be Merkury or Venüs.
@@carlosfind date and time
@@carlosfind Definitely Venus. Just google "transit of venus."
That's what you call a timelapse.
Great...
kya h ye call me 8477875577
Mauro Molinero there are some lapses of reason, if only momentarily 🌈
Golden lapse
@@Asok_Navi I have some punctuation you can borrow. 😄
That shockwave at 1:10 is beautiful.
IT IS!

This makes me understand that we live in so small of a timeline, i wonder how many people died in these turns of sun...
approximately 7.
Imagine how many burritos we’re devoured 😊
As a kryptonian, I feel recharged after watching this video..
Tremendous
Hahaha. Best comment hands down.
Pure gold +1
R u really from krypton wow😱
Nice to hear from Clark Kent.
Looks like we are in a period of minimal solar activity
Jan-Jun 2020 period shows unusually less sun activity (as a layman) when compared to previous years.
May be linked to how 2020 is unfolding
good observation.
@@sachinsaxena569 If you mean less sun, more crazy, I agree.
A "grand solar minimum" yep. Less sunspots, but not much change in solar output tho (a drop of less than 1%)
And we should thank god for that
Seriously
I dont think people realize how amazing this is. We have our very own star! So close to us too!
This is gorgeous
This is our energy
This is our life
This is us
I am happy we cannot touch it
@shayla sapphire Just a gaming channel
Well said ❤️
@shayla sapphire humanity
As I watch this, I realize I'm involuntarily smiling.
My eyes are smiling. I can feel it.
I am Smiling OUT LOUD !!! sol ! SOL !!!
Then you are SATANIC
10 years of sun has changed more than me
Woohhh.. Time really flies by too fast. I was 8 years old back then and now I'm 18. Thinking of which makes me wonder how much of a space nerd I was back then and that has just grown up like a lot since then.
Loved it NASA! I hope I'll be working with you or in space research one day.
Love this! Thank you NASA!
It's also something nice to watch and fall asleep to. Very relaxing 😊
I never actually realized how long solar flares actually last. Beautiful!
Meanwhile Aliens : releases a video 'A Century of earth'
Every second is a war
transit of dinosaurs
Hmm.. good topic alien
Salute to everyone who actually watch it
Its really amazing to watch how a solar cycle plays out in time lapse !
😯 this is utterly incredible.
Certainly looks less active recently. Cool video!
Because our Sun has a cycle of 11 years during which it slowly "calms down" and then begin again brightening.
Social Distancing 😂
Awesome and incredible...
Hats off to everyone behind this huge work...
Thankyou we have alot memories between 2010 to 2020 thankyou for uploading
37:50 is my favorite part
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
LoL
Odd
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Nature is AWESOME! Glad I lived to see this video.
More than anyone can imagine!!

Aren't we incredibly lucky? Imagine taking Galileo into a private room and letting him see this video he'd have a heart attack
stunning footage. incredible music, thanks Lars.
Incredible work, thank you! it is just wow!
So Serene for an astronomy Lover...!
We want a Saturn and jupiter time lapse too
10 años de observación, ¡es un gran trabajo!
It's incredible how a decade can be seen in an hour!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for including a download link!
Man, that's a lot of nuclear explosions.
Non radioactive nuclear fission.
@@ricardosilva8347 fusion
Solamente una, está explotando desde hace unos 5.000 millones de años pero está contenida por un gran campo gavitatorio.
yeah like 5 explosion per 1 day
👍
42:20 looks like a sun to me
You don't say....
I caught it at 31:56 as well
Thanks. Good observation. I am getting old.
40:17 Aliens greeting us
@@rrrudziite how???
Amazing! Really hope they release an HDR version.
Thanks for this! For three decades, I came to know that a star's shape is a circle! Woah! Awesome!
Amazing and awesome! No words to describe this video, except thank you, NASA.
If you flick through it quickly, you can see it’s pulsating like a ❤️
Beautiful comment ❤️🔥👁️
What a production!! Outstanding!!!!! Hypnotizing!!
Beautiful work all! Excellent historic source.
I’m just going to set up an old tv to play this 24/7
Breathtaking and ye I am downloading this.
नम्सेवल 👏 जानकारी को लागि हार्दिक धन्यवाद र सम्मान। सत्य र यथार्थ बैज्ञानिक अनुसन्धान को अपेक्षा। 👌👍
Thank you very much, this is so awesome!
Great initiative by NASA👏🏼
Feels like a dream🔥
At 13:11 you can see a huge CME that almost hit us in 2012
Solar flare?
@@turnturn12 Coronal Mass Ejection
Pretty sure it was at 15:42 (2012-12-21), but SDO must've missed it. Requiescat in Pace Desmond Miles....
grndkntrl Fellow AC veteran.
Thank you for sharing.🙏🏽
We are so lucky to witness such observation like this. We should be thankful for what we achieve and access. Thank you NASA!
This information from NASA is my favorite thing.
Watching from Bangladesh.
SSR would love to watch this...💔
I really loved watching it. Its incredible!
I wasn't even tired and this video nearly made me fall asleep 12 minutes into watching it. This is amazing in so many ways.
This is just magnificent!
Wow es realmente increíble lo
que puede ser el espacio y como 10 años se transforman en 60 minutos.
Little Easter Eggs of Planets You Might Not Have Spotted:
12:24 - Transit of Venus
36:18 - Transit of Mercury
53:29 - Solar Eclipse (March 2019)
46:32 - A Solar Flare
I can't see Mercury :(
Michel Fonseca it’s about incredibly tiny ripple effect. That was Mercury. Mercury’s actually really small ya know so I’m not surprised 😋🤣
Wow. Great work. Thx!
I almost quit watching when I saw 2013 May 10, but 2017 Aug 23 made it all worth it.
18:02 and 44:09 for anyone who's wondering
Why
We are watching it rotate, but is it spinning or just we are moving around its faces? Or is it both?
Both.
Both
Both
Both
Both
Impressive... outta words, thanks for this
Cool time laps video.... mesmerizing.
This is my aesthetic right here.
Wow!
Wow
Amazing view! Thanks, NASA!
Simply Incredible ❤️
It has aged well. :D
Could you do this in VR please? Extraordinary footage.
Absolutely fascinating. Our very own close up Star! 🌟
I become astronomer in nasa. It is my dream. But I am 13 years old....
Inshallah
Really it is my dream..
Research what it takes to get there man. If you really want to, you can do it!
@@bruhbruh8495 no I am teenage girl..ok funny, thanks to support

When sun's video was released, all sister planets immediately became jealous.
XD nice one ! 😂
Es hipnótizante!!
Hermoso y a la vez aterrador tanto poder tanta energia
Que nos da la vida en este planeta hermoso!
Flares, transits and solar eclipses were so cool!
Hello
Absolutely beautiful... Thx NASA. ❤✌
नासा के 10 वर्षों के लगातार प्रयास से हम सबको प्राण ऊर्जा स्रोत सूर्य भगवान के दिव्य अलौकिक वास्तविक दर्शन हुए।

I recommend watch it through almost closed eyes...
Srsly, with proper angle it looks like a march/flight/swim of many different shape life forms. Love it!
Tried it.... looks like 3D now ... great effect :)
2018 Jan 10, 46:29 solar flare! Was pretty noticeable
I saw..

That looks kinda alarming ngl lol
Truly spectacular and awe inspiring.
Absolutely amazing!!
When are you going to release 'Decade of Earth' ?!!!
I guess Aliens can tell 🤔
When you turn 10
This is quite mesmerizing! And to think there are stars BIGGER than our sun!
Amazing! Repost now!
I have no words to expose my thoughts about this video ...its really awesome.
