Magnetic 'Hole' on the Sun's Surface observed by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory

Показать описание

The new video of the dark areas on the Sun recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) is a stunning example of the cutting-edge technology to detect solar activity. I find it absolutely fascinating to compare animations of the Sun in its normal state to those featuring high magnetic activity. When viewing these contrasting animations side by side, the difference is stark and awe-inspiring. In the latter, dark, intricate patterns of sunspots stretch across the Sun's surface, showcasing its incredible power and complexity. In contrast, the former appears relatively placid and featureless. It is remarkable to think that advances in technology have allowed us to capture these images and gain a better understanding of the physics behind the Sun's magnetic activity.
