Everyday star called the Sun

To celebrate the fifth anniversary since the launch into space of the solar dynamics Observatory (SDO), space Agency NASA has published on its YouTube channel an amazing video showing the Sun in all its epic glory. These shots were taken in long-term studies of our sun. In the five years of the existence of this space Observatory it was received 2600 terabytes of valuable data, including 200 million images of the Sun. In total, the Observatory held in the open space 1826 days.

The solar dynamics Observatory is equipped with three instruments to obtain 12 different types of images of the Sun. Each photo has a size of 4096 by 4096 pixels, which allows scientists to observe the solar surface details with an angular size of 0.6 seconds. Every 12 seconds NASA specialists get from the Observatory of the next snapshot, which is equivalent to 3 terabytes of data per day.

Whatever you say, and the Sun really looks incredibly impressive and ambitious in this fascinating video. But no words I can convey the impression of viewing it, so you have to see it for themselves.
