The Solar Dynamics Observatory was launched five years ago yesterday. This time-lapse video was assembled from SDO data from in June, 2010, until last week. The data rate is three frames per day. The different colors represent the different wavelengths used by SDO to observe the Sun.

My huge thumb down-dinged this (hey, it’s 3:15 am here) in error. It is really nifty. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
Psalm 145:3
Humbling and exciting at the same time.
