Editor's Take

NASA Goddard's Thermonuclear Art presents the Sun in extraordinary ultra-HD, assembled from Solar Dynamics Observatory imagery. There is little narration and that is the point, it is a mesmerising half-hour of our star in motion, driven by the raw footage.

It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system.
