Показать описание
April 21, 2011 marks the one-year anniversary of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) First Light press conference, where NASA revealed the first images taken by the spacecraft.
In the last year, the sun has gone from its quietest period in years to the activity marking the beginning of solar cycle 24. SDO has captured every moment with a level of detail never-before possible. The mission has returned unprecedented images of solar flares, eruptions of prominences, and the early stages of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In this video are some of the most beautiful, interesting, and mesmerizing events seen by SDO during its first year.


In the order they appear in the video the events are:

1. Prominence Eruption from AIA in 304 Angstroms on March 30, 2010

2. Cusp Flow from AIA in 171 Angstroms on February 14, 2011

3. Prominence Eruption from AIA in 304 Angstroms on February 25, 2011

4. Cusp Flow from AIA in 304 Angstroms on February 14, 2011

5. Merging Sunspots from HMI in Continuum on October 24-28, 2010

6. Prominence Eruption and active region from AIA in 304 Angstroms on April 30, 2010

7. Solar activity and plasma loops from AIA in 171 Angstroms on March 4-8, 2011

8. Flowing plasma from AIA in 304 Angstroms on April 19, 2010

9. Active regions from HMI in Magnetogram on March 10, 2011

10. Filament eruption from AIA in 304 Angstroms on December 6, 2010

11. CME start from AIA in 211 Angstroms on March 8, 2011

12. X2 flare from AIA in 304 Angstroms on February 15, 2011

Voting goes from April 21 until May 5.

When I was a young girl in middle school, I found an insert picture/poster of the sun with a huge solar flare circling back on itself. I was mesmerized by it and it became my favorite poster for years on my bedroom wall. I forgot all about it until I saw this video. I'm still enchanted by the sun! Great job, SDO!!

Utterly incredible! NEVER have we seen our sun in such detail. Full screen, HD, stare *into* it. It's a bit overwhelming. And it's "just" that orb that lights our sky every day...

Sometimes we get caught by our routine and we forget how tiny we are. This is just beautiful.

Scenes of enormity, and a humbleness in all that we still do not know, or have left to learn about Nature that surrounds us.

I've seen pictures of the sun and I thought that was great, but to see the sun's surface in motion is beyond words.

simply gorgeous the cosmos if full of beauty and wonder. Please remember to NOT look at the sun directly to try and see this stuff lol. I cant imagine how dense the filter had to be to get images like that very impressive.

This is so movingly beautiful. I just keep looking at it. I have photographed flares and prominences through my PST, but I'd love to be able to film them.

Great work - thanks and may you have many more years of successful spectacular imaging still to come. :-)

However my favourite SDO clip - the launch video where its launch blows away a sundog (parhelia) - see "Sonic Boom Meets Sun Dog 720p" by beachton123 on Youtube - is still my all-time favourite. :-)

Isn't this year (2011) suppose to have increased solar activity? Such as flares?
