NASA Newly Discover Sun Condition

provides a timeline of solar activity from August 12 to December 22, 2022, as recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Since roughly 13 years ago, SDO has continuously captured 4K x 4K images of the Sun from its orbit around the Earth. Numerous new discoveries about the operation of our nearest star and how it affects the solar system have been made possible by this knowledge. Every 0.75 seconds, SDO takes a picture of the Sun using a trio of instruments. Every 12 seconds, the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) equipment by itself takes pictures using 10 different light wavelengths. The photographs in this 133-day time lapse were taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extremely ultraviolet wavelength that reveals the corona, the Sun's outermost layer of atmosphere. Compiling the 108 captured pictures. Specific details on such imagery may be found here: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14263.

It appears in a golden yellow color but is splotchy and with thin yellow wisps extending from the surface. Some areas are very bright and others are almost black. The whole Sun rotates steadily, with one full rotation taking 12 minutes in this time-lapse. There are usually only a few bright regions visible at a time and they shift and flash like small fires. From these regions there are wispy loops reaching up above the surface that rapidly change shape and size. On the right side of the frame are two white-outlined squares with enlargements of interesting regions of the Sun.
