NASA releases incredible photos and videos of the Sun.

NASA has released some truly spectacular photos and videos of the Sun, courtesy of the recently launched Solar Dynamics Observatory.

The observatory uses four telescopes looking at the currant bun in different wavelengths to produce some staggering photos and videos, fully living up to the mission’s goal of exploring “solar activity in unprecedented detail.”

The Solar Dynamics Observatory is sending back something like1.5 terabytes of awesome data per day, and NASA is sharing some of their findings via their YouTube channel, with mission updates on Twitter.
