Capturing 10 years of  4.6 billion-year-old Sun in an hour and a half, NASA, on June 24 released a time-lapse video recorded from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) that h been “watching Sun n-stop for over a full dece”.  Solar Dynamics Observatory SDO gared 425 million high-resolution ims of Sun, approximately 20 million gigabytes of data over past 10 years which NASA compiled in foot and released on its official website. In foot captured between June 2, 2010, to June 1, 2020, NASA revealed that each day for sun is every second on video. Furr, NASA titled foot as “A Dece of Sun”.  

“This information has enabled countless new discoveries about workings of our closest star and how it influences solar system,” NASA said. instrument, SDO, captured im of blazing Sun every 0.75 seconds, outperforming  Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument capable of recording ims every 12 seconds at 10 different wavelengths of light. “This 10-year time-lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nametres, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer – corona,” NASA wrote, explaining phemen.

Sun’s 11-year solar cycle and table events

With custom music, titled “Solar Observer,” which was composed by musician Lars Leonhard, foot condensed a full dece of sun into nearly 61 minutes, while one photo was compiled of several pictures every hour. According to NASA, foot portrays “ rise and fall in an activity that occurs as part of Sun’s 11-year solar cycle and table events, like transiting planets and eruptions.” 

In last dece when astromers recorded phemen, gigantic Sun h undergone an impact as it bubbled with ermous magnetic ripples kwn as sunspots, which peaked around 2014 and eventually subsided, according to ncy. Furr, Sun rearranged its magnetic poles every 11 years, replacing rth with South and vice-versa. As a result of this, surface of Sun appeared to be a tranquil sea of yellow fire, a period kwn as a solar minimum by  Astromers, which currently Sun is in. While se changes are difficult to observe with naked human eye, NASA's SDO satellite captured it in extreme ultraviolet riation.
