NASA Releases Dazzling Images and Video of the Sun
Images capture the sun as it approaches its peak of solar activity.
In 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) began capturing incredible images of the sun as it ascends toward "solar maximum," the peak of solar activity in the sun's 11-year cycle.
The SDO has been photographing the sun every 12 seconds, in 10 different light wavelengths, then "stitches" the frames together to produce amazing composite images, which it released to the public.
Let us know in comments what you think of these images and video!
