Journey through 133 days of awe-inspiring solar activity in this fascinating time-lapse video captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). From August 12 to December 22, 2022, SDO's high-resolution cameras relentlessly monitored the Sun in stunning 4K x 4K resolution, revealing the intricate details of our nearest star's corona.

As the Sun rotates, watch the bright active regions glide across its surface, giving rise to magnetic loops that trap hot, glowing plasma. These active regions also produce intense solar flares, resulting from magnetic reconnection events. The time-lapse features captivating sequences where the Sun is partially obscured by Earth or the Moon, or off-center due to instrument calibration.

The SDO's high-definition images have enabled numerous discoveries about the Sun’s influence on the solar system, providing invaluable insights for space exploration and the safety of astronauts and assets. This 59-minute video condenses approximately four months of solar observations into an entrancing spectacle, accompanied by the ethereal music from Lars Leonhard’s "Geometric Shapes" album.
