NASA’s time-lapse video of Sun covering 22-years leaves netizens mesmerised | Watch

In a bid to mark 25th anniversary of Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), NASA on December 2 released a spectacular time-lapse video of Sun. SOHO is a joint project from NASA and European ncy (ESA) and since its launch, mission has kept watch on Sun. video showcased a nearly 50-minute-long clip of sun blasting out solar material from 1998 through 2020. 

According to NASA, SOHO craft is a permanent spectator of sun’s activities, recording its every move. In caption, US ncy said that foot shows sun turning and background stars whirling by providing how constant stream of material is that is blasted in all directions, kwn as solar wind. To capture “decades of sun,” SOHO uses special telescopes kwn as coronagraphs that block out face of sun and capture views of coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

caption read, “Throughout video, Sun releases bursts of material called coronal mass ejections: fast-moving clouds of solar material that can trigger wear effects on Earth — like auroras, communications problems, and even power outs — and for craft in ir path. se storms are more frequent near solar maximum, period approximately every 11 years when Sun’s activity is at a high point”.

Furr, NASA said that when solar particles are bombarding SOHO, re are occasional blasts of extreme white ise. fast-moving bright spots with lines radiating to sides are also photobombing planets that are revolving around star. Moreover, with help of LASCO (Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph), SOHO provides a 360-degree view of atmosphere around Sun. LASCO ims captured via SOHO have also become crucial for wear predictions. 

Netizens call it ‘beautiful’ 

Meanwhile, since shared, clip has garnered hundreds of likes and comments. It has also left several internet users mesmerised. While one user wrote, “This is amazing!! Thank you for putting this video toger. Fascinating and interesting, I am excited about this next solar cycle,” ar added, “How can something so dangerous be so beautiful”. “To realise this has been occurring for billions of years, it's a wonder that re is anything left,” added third. “Beautiful,” added fourth.
